SUMMARY:Writing Vigil: Mourning Premature Queer Deaths and Anti-Queer Violence
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this Writing Vigil honoring the Queer & Trans lives we’ve lost due to violence against our community. This event provides a creative space for LGBTQ+ people to write about the impact of increasing violence targeting Queer & Trans lives.  \nPrinceso Santamaría will lead participants through visualization and movement exercises as strategies for soothing physiological distress and connecting to an inner sense of safety. Participants will respond to writing prompts coupled with healing-informed exercises as they write through challenging emotions.   \nThis event is for lgbtq+ community members to receive support for their grieving process through writing\, whether they are new or experienced writers. We appreciate our allies and ask that they help us honor the LGBTQ+ community’s need for an exclusive space to process Queer & Trans loss. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring a writing tool\, something to write on\, and a comfort item such as a soft sweater. Writing materials will also be available if needed. \nMust be registered to participate. Space is limited to 25 participants. Sign up at: bit.ly/writingvigil \n\nPrinceso Santamaría is a queer\, xicanx poet dedicated to documenting and uplifting queer peoples of color. They can be found dancing over dimly lit dance floors or reading about temporal-space travel. Their work has been hosted by El Comalito Collective\, Ofrenda Magazine\, the Gender Equity Resource Center at UC Berkeley\, California Youth Connection\, the Puente Program at Laney College\, the Ethnic Studies Department at Cal State Fullerton\, and foolsFURY SF Theatre. They are the Partner Classes Coordinator at Gemini Ink. \n\nParking at Gemini Ink \nGemini Ink offers free parking along the back wall of our downtown offices. Please access this parking lot from Augusta St and first park in any of the 12 spots along the back wall. Only when these 12 spots are full\, do we ask that you park elsewhere in our lot. We now rent our offices from UTSA and are collaborating with them to create a secure and accessible parking lot for our community of writers and readers.
