When: Wednesday, February 5th, 5 PM – 8PM

Where: Ed Roberts Campus and online via Zoom

What: Happy Lunar New Year! Join CIL and community artist, activist, and Disability Justice organizer Maya Morya Selkie Scott in creating a Disability Justice Community Story Quilt, co-created as part of a monthly drop-in social/art space at the Ed Roberts Campus from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m PST., as well as online via Zoom. We’re honored to co-organize and co-create this space with Disability Justice Culture Club, the Anti-Police Terror Project, Senior and Disability Action, Ability Now, and PEACE Out Loud. 

This February, Our DJ Community Story Quilt session will focus on diverse visions of revolutionary love—revolutionary love as the strength of the margins, revolutionary love as Black History and Liberation Month, revolutionary love as a promise, (r)evolutionary love as decolonization, as rematriation, and as the transformational shedding of skins that the Year of the Wood Snake invokes; revolutionary love as uplifting our beloved ancestor Audre Lorde’s incantations of our litanies for survival. 

February’s Disability Justice Community Story Quilt maker’s session will  be an open art/writing/collaging/creating space, with good music, prompts for connection and reflection, materials to create individual or communal quilt pieces, and light food and drink. 

We hope to see you on Wednesday, February 5th, either in-person at the Ed Roberts Campus (3075 Adeline Street, Berkeley, CA) or online. Please drop in for any of that chunk of time that works for you. If you haven’t already, let us know you’re coming by filling out this interest form for the project.
