Acts of Self Preservation

AGASAN

MOVEMENT VISUAL ART SOUND

↓

Explore depth of expression and our connection to wellness through the arts as an integrative practice.

AGASAN in the Ilokano dialect means “to heal or give medicine”; a multi-phase project that includes workshops and an interactive offering to address ancestral trauma. Open to anyone, AGASAN is for those willing to explore creative pathways of self care: artists, workers, youth, elders, BIPOC, LGBTQA, service providers and especially communities within the diaspora.

Using sound, movement and visual art, our goal is to offer accessible artistic pathways of destigmatizing mental health through a culturally responsive and collectivized experience.

Black Lives Matter

We want to give our solidarity to the communities who have lost lives at the hands of police brutality this year and the years past. We know our struggle is tied to the liberation of black people the world over, including our own afro indigenous Pilipinx communities that continue to experience the threat of displacement and harm due to environmental and social injustices perpetrated by the state.

Part of AGASAN’s work is to provide the support and the medicine needed to sustain these movements and the protracted struggles we encounter in the face of imperialism and oppression.

*Admission to AGASAN workshops are free for all black folx who wish to participate. Click the link to the right to email us and reserve your space.*
