naked. open mic @ Futures of Repair: A Social Dream Space by IM!

In commemoration of Black History Month, the theme we'll be exploring is: love through conflict. Please also remember to bring your art to share.

Unconditional love isn’t just loving when it’s easy — it’s also loving through conflict. Often times, though, we stop once there’s a disconnect, ill-equipped with the tools necessary to reconnect again.

How many friendships, familial ties, and movements have ended or become shells of their former depth in the face of conflict simply because we didn’t have the language or tools we needed to confront it? How do we learn to love through disagreement? What tools do we need to empower us to love throughout conflict?

Join us as we explore what has prevented us from loving through the conflict in the past to carve out new pathways towards the expansion that awaits on the other side.

there is no mic, there is no stage, and all art forms are welcome.

those who enter are invited to be naked and free from the armor and masks we wear to navigate the world.

if you could be naked, without judgment, how would you show up? what would you say? what would you share?
