Join Remi Graves for three workshops exploring poetic responses to the archive. Leaning on their research into transmasculine archival material, specifically linked to Paul Downing and using resources relating to Jim McHarris (pictured), and Ralph Kerwineo; Remi will guide participants through different creative approaches to archival material and trans history.

In this workshop, we will spend the afternoon with fire, focusing on both its external presence and its energy within us. As we approach the halfway point between spring and summer, we will give attention to our inner fire—the spark that fuels our passions, creativity, and vitality. How does our inner fire need to be tended and nourished?

Artist and grief facilitator Sarah Pletts, alongside trained therapist Rasha, return for a full-day session designed for queer people to connect with their personal experiences of grief.

Throughout the day, participants will engage in various practices to explore their emotions including active listening, guided meditation, writing, drawing, movement, ritual, speaking and sounding.
