About this Event
Moral & Ethics: Staying True to a Subculture
Track: Precarious Solidarities
Presented by All Mutable & Reneshawties
In cities like Philadelphia where class inequalities, failing city infrastructure, gentrification, and sociopolitical tensions create further division, separation, and isolation among its residents, diy subcultures and mutual aid organizing act as a driving force for enacting positive change within our communities. All Mutable x Reneshawties, through this panel, wants to bring together local Black queer organizers and collective members to examine how we can effectively work towards addressing racial disparities, prioritizing queer and trans people of color in the spaces we create, and navigating internal and external conflict, as well as our inspirations, aspirations, and desires for the futures of our communities.
ABOUT PARALLEL PLAY
The Parallel Play Symposium, presented as part of the six-week Collective Futures festival, is a two-day gathering of artists, scholars, organizers, and cultural workers exploring the practices, histories, and conditions that sustain collective cultural production.
