Treasure Brooks will discuss how her work creating the feminist media company “The Meteor” was a pursuit of creative resistance. Drawing upon the scholarship of activists such as adrienne maree brown (Pleasure Activism) and Tricia Hearsay (Rest as Resistance), Brooks will also discuss her theory of communal play as a viable strategy for feminist coalition building. Her talk will examine the adverse effects of premature adulthood in communities of color and offer historical examples of playful resistance within Black diasporic and indigenous traditions. Additionally, there will be a creative exercise facilitated among participants focused on architecting feminist future.
3 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Tea and Creative Exercises on Architecting Feminist Futures with Treasure Brooks
