BIPOC Trans*formations: Crafting Beyond the Binary

Theme: How are We Doing? Unraveling, mind-body connection, how do we reconnect with our bodies that don’t always feel like they belong to us…

Craft: Re-create your childhood environment through a new, loving lens (painting, get messy and have fun!)

Trans*formations is designed for members of the trans community to explore their identities and build community. We ask that participants self-identify under the trans umbrella, which includes non-binary and gender non-conforming folks. For more information on this event please see our Trans*formations: Beyond the Binary program page.

This meeting is a BIPOC-only space. BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. As described by our facilitator, Romeo Mendoza, "Naming and self-naming are important tools for us to connect to become closer to our identities and to share our experiences in community to empower ourselves against oppressive systems in a White-dominated society. Language becomes something to unify and align ourselves with to recognize and realize that we are powerful when we are in solidarity with one another instead of continuing systemic cycles of oppression.
