A Womanist Read In: Worldbuilding + Repro Justice

Description:

The Womanist Read In is a Black Woman centered space where Third World Women decolonize their ideas of beauty and de-center institutions as bastions of learning. At a WRI we imagine a world where revolutions are casual, and begin sitting across from your sister with a good book. In these spaces we also interrogate our proximity to beauty, using it as a mechanism for justice. Through the simple act of gathering to read for 45 minutes, discuss together, and fellowship, we are shifting our gaze from whiteness and to a new world. This workshop will walk through the importance of Black Women's Consciousness Raising, Beauty as justice, and worldbuilding with a Reproductive Justice lens.
