“Resistance is in the cracks” is an open conversation between Fannie Sosa and you on twerk as a decolonial, open source, healing, femmeinist, radically inclusive, sexually autonomous practice.

Big mouths, big hearts, big brains and big asses sit down to discuss how to stand up, speak up, remember and resist the many forces acting against womxn and queer people of color.

– community

– love as a political stance
– Audre Lorde’s «mythical norm»
– Gloria Anzaldua’s «mestiza consciousness»
– booty aesthetics and meanings
– booty visual/textual references
– cultural appropriation
– speak up! (twerking as a way to speak up, stand-up, rap, slam, sing, read, lecture)
– booty and public space: phallic and/or yonic approaches
– performance theory and Queer Herstory from our point of view
– moving in space/Letting go
– the «kiff*(joy)» as a teaching tool
– body positivity (transcending shame)
– contacting the centre (accessing dan tien/portal to the universe/listening to your gut)
– all black lives matter

More joy to you!
