Love is Lifeforce

A Revolutionary Mothering Workshop

Note: This event is taking place in the French Broad Food Co-op's Movement Learning Center and not at Firestorm!

In 1977 black feminist poet June Jordan wrote "Love is lifeforce" as the opening sentence of a lecture she gave on the creative spirit and children's literature. The new book Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines is the first book to have published June Jordan's speech in its entirety.

This workshop, facilitated by Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Alba Onofrio will be an immersion in queer feminist of color love practices, allowing you to dive into the ways life-force flows in your community and facilitating you through the process of creating a works of art, poetry and performance together.

Sliding scale $10-25 collected at the door. This event will be followed by a free Revolutionary Mothering Author Event at Firestorm Books & Coffee!

To increase accessibility for high risk community members, Firestorm requires masking at all indoor events. Learn more
