This series of community meetings invites cultural workers and artists into a practice space and exploration of how we can create more trauma-sensitivity, safety and trust inour spaces – in ourselves, our communities and organizational structures facing multiple wars and conflicts, growing violence and polarization. Through regenerative embodiment practices, reflection and exchange we’ll navigate different questions around interrelation of the body, trauma and systems of oppression, and ground them somatically in our experiences. We politicize mental health and our right for wellbeing as a way of nurturing our response-ability, resilience and social change. Rest, slowness, vulnerability, grief or joy have a place in this space.
This session we focus on the questions what trauma-sensitive approach means for us; what biases, prejudice and stigma around trauma we face; why social justice and decolonial lens is important to take into account when we navigate understanding of trauma and transformation; and explore how trauma-sensitive approach can look like in concrete contexts.
