Nā Hua Ea Poetry Workshop #2: “We Breathe Together”
July 11, 2020 @ 12:00 am - 1:30 am
From Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea:
Nā Hua Ea poetry workshop #2 is this Saturday, 10 – 11:30 on Zoom. Part of a month-long series of events for La Hoihoi Ea Honolulu
“We Breathe Together” a poetry workshop for decolonial love, by Noʻu Revilla, ʻIhilani Lasconia, and Isabella Pasa. In order to survive, we must breathe. In order to thrive, we must breathe together. As aloha ʻāina Joy Enomoto passionately declared, “I cannot breathe without you.” In these raw and revolutionary times, we remember that ea is breath, rising, and collective liberation all at once. So we will write poems that take seriously the question of what it means to commit to each other’s ea. What makes you rise to your feet and stand tall? What makes you free? How does it feel to fill your lungs with the breath of your ʻāina and become a stronger protector, a better ally in the struggles of others? We will write poems that explore how ea is, is not, or could soon be emerging in the ways we choose to thrive together.
Free and all are welcome, but space is limited to keep the workshop an intimate welcoming space to create and share. To RSVP, please sign up here: https://us02web.zoom.us/…/tZAkf-usrDMuEtYPGUhrejJ23eTiFAZi3…
