Week Three: We Take Care Of Each Other
River Molloy Zinzi Buchanan River MacAskill
This trans-exclusive workshop, co-facilitated by River McAskill, River Molloy and Zinzi Buchanan, offers body-focused exercises and creative practices for a trans-exclusive space, situated within the present local and global climate.

Come as you are and bring anything that adds to your comfort.
