Description
Join BAXSAN in conversation with Unruly Walking. A project facilitated by Leo Woods and Christie Costello of Bare Minimum Collective.

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.
Bare Minimum is 6-person interdisciplinary anti-work arts collective. We hate working, hustling, neoliberal self-improvement, wage labour and surplus value, private property, how work eats into our time, our love, our ability to make things in earnest.
