Other Ways of Knowing - Bakla and the Wisdom of Language
with Wailana Simcock

Indigenous wisdom is a rich resource that we need now in contemporary time. Language holds a key to understanding how a culture or group of people see and understand the world. It is a physical action that can transmit cultural wisdom through our bodyminds. In addition to unspoken body languages, this workshop will engage Tagolog, Hawaiian and English to reframe concepts of sexuality, gender, ancestry and belonging.
