🌹Chaiwallah PDX is a small batch desi pop-up run by Sarena. Her recipes have taken years to perfect because they taste like she remembers… created with the flavors she grew up with, away from, and returned to.
🌹Alexandria Rema Saleem is a first generation Palestinian artist and cultural worker, born and raised on the traditional lands of the chinook and many others. She works with individuals, communities, and the land to reclaim our rite to sacred spaces, through land tending, world building, dance, ritual, risk, and tenderness. The flowers are her deepest ally, and main medium. She works between the land, as a regenerative flower farmer, and community as florist, event designer, and installation artist. She is currently costuarding the black Oregon land trust, and director of Arts and Culture with The Center for Study and Preservation of Palestine. She started the Flowers for Palestine mutual aid project in October in Portland. Flowers for Palestine is a Portland led, mutual aid project that has continuously gathered community in fundraising efforts directly supporting Palestinian Portlanders aiding their family in Gaza amidst the ongoing genocide.
🌹Jungle Candy Henna. Born and raised in Portland to immigrant parents from Sri Lanka & India- Kavi started art at a young age. She majored in painting for 1 year at PSU before dropping out to pursue tattooing. In order to get the funds for “tattoo school” , Kavi worked as a line cook for 5 years before finally enrolling and graduating with her tattoo license. Kavi now tattoos at Solitude Tattoo Collective on SE Woodstock and tattoos almost anything and everything but focuses on black and grey botanical and nature themes, South Asian iconology and ornamental.
We are hosting another one of our magical Sunday evening tea dances that centers Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (QTBIPOC) folks.
We honor the QTBIPOC folks who came before us — our radical ancestors who fought to be seen and heard and free to love.
We honor the rich diversity of people within the QTBIPOC community.
We invite QTBIPOC folks of all backgrounds & identities to come party with us.
We also welcome allies.
We expect everyone to contribute to a fun and respectful party.
We will not tolerate any form of prejudice or discrimination, such as biphobia, fatphobia or transphobia.
