๐ŸŒฟ Neuroqueer Heros ; Edition 1

๐ŸŒฟ Last month was the end of the NeuroQ***r Heros poetry workshop and our beautiful screening event.

๐ŸŒฟ As part of the course of creating the crown of sonnets as a group we decided to take an interest in nature and the journey back to ourselves and away from capitalism.

๐ŸŒฟ This theme flowed though each poem and was reflected in the film we chose to make.

๐ŸŒฟ The film itself became a ritual, using a spell circle created at our local nature reserve of Bidston Hill under the light of the April full moon the poem and the film formed a powerful spell.

๐ŸŒฟ The screening event featured parts of this spell and working with nature , showing Anthotype prints each artist had made on the course, the film , a beautiful zine and a communal Alter with elements of each poems spell.

๐ŸŒฟ The screening event became a magical evening full of poetry , nature and the power the break the curse of capitalism!

๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to Open Eye for the beautiful space and for making this possible and Jay Farley for creating and running such a Magickal course

๐ŸŒฟ Watch this space for edition 2!
