How do LGBTQ+ survivors of partner abuse process anger? What would it look like to express anger in our communities? How can we move through difficult emotions in creative and collective ways? Submit your proposal for Wild Tongues. We accept all types of art. This is a paid performance and display opportunity.

Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, January 7th.
*Centering and uplifting QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and people of color) experiences*

Wild Tongues reclaims power by highlighting the experiences of survivors of partner abuse and/or oppression with poetry, music, photographs, art, and choreography. In June 2017, we asked survivors to submit their art and share their experience among a community full of support, and they have shown up every year since.
