Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.

In this interactive workshop, Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid, will share key principles, explore common challenges in mutual aid work, and offer tools for working through them.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
