Chakula x TRANSHOOD (Workshop Exploring Ancestral Transness)

Join us for a workshop exploring Ancestral Transness. This workshop will follow the screening of the Aggressives documentary and will be facilitated by Cash Nahuo Webster from TRANSHOOD.

This first workshop honors ancestral transness, inviting participants to connect with their transcestors—the spiritual and physical elders who shape our transitions and guide the vision of trans elderhood.

Participants will discuss how the legacies of trans-ancestors shape their gender identities and transitions, while exploring the crucial role of Black elders in our communities as sources of wisdom and liberation.

Using archival images, participants will craft collaged postcards and write messages to their younger selves, grounding their journeys in both past wisdom and future possibilities. These postcards can be mailed or kept as a keepsake, a reminder of the legacy they are forging.

Date | Wednesday 23rd January from 8-9pm

Location | The Africa Centre

Admission is free - please RSVP to secure your spot. This workshop space is primarily for Black, African & Caribbean LGBTQ+ people - please be mindful when booking your ticket.
