Black Queer Artist Collective, #SNATCHPOWER, would like the avengers to assemble to DIY install solar power into their collective safe space, a short school bus called The Black Magic School Bus. Over the course of our Assembly we will learn together how to convert energy from the sun to electricity and install it to (em)power a functional object, in this case, a magical school bus which acts as a tour bus carrying Black queer and trans artists, allies, and their gear throughout Los Angeles. Eventually the electricity will (em)power a mobile recording studio and public art space.
GOAL: To electrify The Black Magic School Bus with solar energy.
proliferate a wave of personal sacral healing for Black QT folks, especially sex workers, that ultimately serves the collective good; educate Black QT folks on the principles and practices of sex magik/carnal alchemy; creating a coven of Black QTs who collectively direct energy toward a petition(s) that will facilitate liberation for black folk and thereafter all oppressed people. Pleasure activism for real.
If you really want to save the world,
You better heal yourself first
Grounding question: how can we #makeradicalsexy and use our energy in service of dismantling cisheteropatriarchal white supremacy?
