This year, through a series of public workshops, local artists/activists/community members will create a community sculpture/creature that transmutes intergenerational grief into healing and joy. We will explore the archive of BIPOC ancestral joy/grief technologies including rhythms, myths, processions, garments, dance, ritual, and environmental/political/social activism and more to inform and design individual creatures and a large collective creature. Artists and community will collaboratively design an artistic joy centered creature to address a community problem within South East San Diego and beyond, answering the question: “What are the diasporic ancestral joy technologies within San Diego that we need to remember and create to survive and thrive?”.
