The MEND Project hosted by Alli Rolle in partnership with Asante Haughton from Unsinkable is an opportunity to reflect, share, and manifest healing and joy in queer and trans communities. Together, we’ll consider two questions:

• What are you healing from?

• What brings you joy?

Session One: Collective Mural Workshop
The first session will bring participants together for a facilitated creative lab, where you’ll reflect on healing and joy while contributing to a collaborative mural. This session focuses on idea development, peer exchange, and collective storytelling.

Session Two: Community Showcase & Open Exhibition
In the second session, participants will reconvene for the Community Showcase, an open-access exhibition and sharing space. Artists will have the opportunity to present completed work to community members through visual art, poetry, performance, or other expressive forms.
