It’s On Us- Poetry Making Playground TRAIL Softlaunch

  • 4434 S Lake Park Ave, Chicago, IL 60653 (map)

It’s On Us! - a day of art and action to stand against fascism. A multidisciplinary, multi-sensory series of activations across the city.

Under authoritarian conditions and in times of repression, we are encouraged to desensitize ourselves, to ignore what we see, hear, smell, taste and feel. On this day, we call our neighbors to awaken their senses and one another: to see clearly, to listen deeply, to touch the ground and each other in solidarity, to taste the sweetness of shared life, to smell the earth that sustains us. By engaging our senses together, we embody liberation and practice radical imagination, building community through mutual aid, mobilization, and solidarity. When ICE melts, what blooms next is not inevitable, it is something we grow and cultivate together. Freedom begins when we remember that it’s on us. This is a  Collaboration w Kuumba Lynx- Barbara Ransby - Bettina Johnson - Taina Asili - Jamila Woods - Damon Williams - Maria Gaspar - Kristiana
