|| ROOTED INTERSECTIONS ||: Intergenerational Workshop(s) Day

The second in Gunita's || R O O T E D  I N T E R S E C T I O N S || series, this entire day will be focused on the intersections between Maglalatik and Waacking as well as that of Tinikling and House. 

Each pairing is a two hour workshop and includes a roundtable discussion connecting the movement to our sense of identity and how it plays a role within our processing of the diaspora. Each movement will be brought into focus as to how our creative practice is a means toward decolonization. 

Intergenerational by nature, we mean to explore the various ways generation to generation could hold conversation both verbally and physically. 

Registration: We will take care of sign-ups prior to the event via venmo or paypal as well as at the door. 

Cost: $15 per class, $25 per pairing, or $45 for ALL CLASS pass. 

Payment can be taking by cash or via venmo or paypal.
