SUMMARY:The Black Joy Project: Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Tap into Black joy in an intimate writing workshop led by Kleaver Cruz\, the creator of The Black Joy Project\, a digital and real-world affirmation that Black joy is resistance. \nKleaver is a Black queer creative\, writer and educator who has presented and conducted work across the African Diaspora in places like Brazil\, South Africa and The Netherlands\, among other countries. On Wednesday evening\, May 22nd\, 2024\, Kleaver will present a workshop\, leading students through writing exercises and prompts to inspire well-being\, reflection\, and\, of course\, Black joy. \n  \n \nAbout The Black Joy Project \nInternational in the scale\, fist-raising in the prose\, and chockfull of gorgeous works by dozens of acclaimed artists\, The Black Joy Project does what no other book has ever done. In words and art\, it puts joy on the same track as protest and resistance … because that is how life is actually lived. Uprisings in the street\, with music as accompaniment. Heartbreaking funerals followed by second line parades. Microaggressions in the office\, then coming home to a warm hug and a garden of lilacs. The list goes on. \nBlack Joy is always held in tension with broader systemic wounds. It is a powerful\, historically important salve that allows us to keep going and reimagine new ways of being. The Black Joy Project captures these dual realities to incredible\, unforgettable effect. \nThe brainchild of educator and activist Kleaver Cruz\, The Black Joy Project is an extension of a real-world initiative of the same name. It has become a source of healing and regeneration for Black people of all backgrounds and identities. Long overdue and somehow still worth the wait\, The Black Joy Project is a necessary addition for any book lover\, art enthusiast\, or freedom fighter. And begs the question\, What does Black Joy mean to you?
