About this Event


Many voices, one poem

In silence, or out loud

But, together


________________________🐌
come celebrate with me
what I have shaped into a kind of life
this terrible miracle I mourn
and find joy in everyday

come consider this simple and complicated poem about living a life centered on survival

come curious. It’s a poetic experiment — part church service, part seance, part party, hosted by (me!) Bosede Ajibola Opetubo — and inspired by silent worship, healing circles, open mics and my Liberal Arts education

Queer BIPOC women + femmes are invited to speak, and be heard, through the words of Lucille Clifton. Everyone else is just there to listen, and witness

After we sit, we'll share, and then celebrate.

🎈

Space is limited. Please only RSVP if you are able to attend.

This event is a queer, BIPOC and women + femmes-centered space, though all are welcome.

This program is supported by a grant from the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture and the City of Boston.
