Our bodies are archives that continuously collect information about pleasure, pain, oppression and joy. For this edition of QueerCity, we will discuss the impact of colonization on BIPOC trans and queer bodies. Let’s explore together topics such as generational trauma, body healing, self-care practices and decolonizing body rituals.
