Facilitated by Imogen Reid, this is a space with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people.
Our bodies, lives, and very beings are increasingly politicized.
Our stories and histories are flattened, made palatable for the sake of survival.
Our unique grief becomes increasingly buried and unheard, unshared.
Imogen Reid will guide participants in an exploration this unspoken (and spoken) grief.
What makes it unique?
What do we grieve?
How does that grief affect us?
What prevents us from engaging with that grief?
How does our grief connect us and bring us together?
Imogen Reid is the last of the feral trans women, a proud dirtbag, degenerate, and fuck up. She is a harm reduction advocate and educator, a former founding member of Communities Organizing for Harm Reduction, one of the first organized groups in Ottawa doing harm reduction before there were any safe sites. Imogen is a recovering drug addict, survivor, fighter, activist, shoplifter, parent, story teller, and the holder of the memories of her dead.
She is a visual artist, photographer, shitty punk musician, and author whose work explores themes of bodies, gender, queer desire, poverty, trauma, drugs/addiction and her own very weird life on this hell world we call home.
