Blacksitioning is a reclamation ritual and a transitional rite exploring Blackness, human mortality, and our sense of belonging. The workshop is primarily open to Black identifying persons and allies who are interested in experimenting performance rituals while investigating the horrors of gender queerness, Blackness, white supremacy etc. Although the workshop is not a literal representation of our struggles it aims at allowing the participants to reflect on our vulnerabilities, fears, the powers we possess and the essence of our reclamation.
