Feminism cannot be separated from anti-racism and the feminist movement is diverse. As activists we need to identify and address discriminations as part of our organising and society. Thus 4 activists will be facilitating a workshop on People of Colour politics. It is an introductory workshop where we aim to enable a discussion on the intersections of racism with sexism and misogyny, trans*phobia, queerphobia, and Indigenous peoples' human, cultural and land rights. Furthermore there is no prior knowledge assumed! Participants will be given a handout of definitions which will be covered in the workshop.
We hope that this workshop is a good starting point for people to think about what it means to be a person of colour, and the importance of autonomous spaces. We will create a safer space as we challenge our prejudices, privileges and open up dialogue on difference.
FORMAT: Spectrums exercise! Each facilitator will read out statements and questions and First Person accounts. Participants will then get the chance to move along a continuum from Agree to Disagree. Moreover participants will then be asked to explain why they have made this choice as part of a discussion. After some more general spectrums, you will also get the chance to reflect on the First Person Accounts which focus on Indigenous rights, Sexuality and Sex and Gender Diversity.
POST WORKSHOP: Sign up on our mailing list! Come back to this blog and let's have some online discussion. The choice is yours.
We would love to see you at our workshop. Until then!
Saturday 10th of April 3-4pm.
