It can be scary, even intimidating to cultivate a ritual of consistent creative / artistic practice and conjure. Yet as QTGNC2-S+ Black and Indigenous People-of-Color, our cosmologies literally center creativity as our Origin stories and path(s) to Freedom. For this praxis series, we evoke The Creatrix-- our gender-expansive Black+Indigenous Mothxr's of Creation. Amidst the violence of slavery, genocide, colonization, environmental crises, and multiple pandemics- we activate our ancestral inheritance of creative ingenuity, allowing us to create worlds of Freedom anywhere.
We allow our Black+Indigenous Radical Imagination to lift and inspire us on our creative journey-- re-membering our genius to midwife Freedom Dreams into existence. Our applied framework is the transdisciplinary intersectional justice framework, Afro-Indigenous Liberatory Praxis, reminding us that in these bodies- art, healing, and ritual resistance are all one.
Whether we are just beginning a creative practice or have been a working artist for years, no one can escape the vulnerability required to dig deeper into one’s Creative Center and hone one’s craft. It is a continuous journey that takes courage to build intimacy with Spirit, with the kindred of past | present | future, with our own healing and dream-weaving as we sculpt reality through our chosen medium. This is our liberatory medicine path.
This Creatrix Praxis Space takes place via zoom on second Fridays of the month and is designed to support
F R E E D O M L A N D Legacy Leaders biennial cohort, along with invited kindred in flexing our Creatrix powers and prowess. The intention is to move through fear, procrastination, and stagnancy by cultivating consistency, artistic rigor, inspiration and encouragement along the path of shaping our creative projects, platforms, movements, and even worlds! This monthly praxis space is an offering to feed your creative spirit and build community as you build your Freedom dreams. Come as you are.
