Description

Join BAXSAN Collective and learn about their community-building practice. From building a digital archive of Queer Somali resistance online, to engaging with BAXSAN artists to explore the multimedia forms they utilise in imagining Queer Somali futures, BAXSAN are inspired by previous generation’s tools to stay in contact through displacement.

If you require additional access measures to enable your participation, including BSL interpretation please email info@healingjusticeldn.org. Inline with our commitment to disability justice, we will try to accommodate as much as possible.

Biography

The Somali word BAXSAN translates to emancipation/liberation. BAXSAN is an artist collective and private peer support network made up of artists and community facilitators, whose primary focus is creating connections, fostering community and creating art from the shared experiences of LGBTQI+ Somalis. Their work is heavily rooted in exploring and affirming liberation practices. Since the group’s inception, they have prioritised safety, resourcing and upskilling, providing spaces to commune and create.
