SUMMARY:We’éqlapish: Live Poetry of Indigenous Women
DESCRIPTION:Subversive Verses\, a collective of California Native women centering the dynamic voices of our community and celebrating the strength of Indigenous emotion through art\, music\, and poetry. \nRSVP at https://tinyurl.com/m2y25ahk \nIn Payómkawichum\, We’éqlapish is a complex word\, but roughly translates to an act of disputing/disagreeing with something. When using it\, you’re letting it be known you don’t agree with someone’s words or actions against you. It’s pretty open-ended\, and can be applied to so many instances: A government that wants to eradicate us\, an ex who doesn’t respect us\, etc. It’s relevant to the energy we are bringing to this event\, actively using our words/poetry to stand up for ourselves. In short; We aren’t gonna go down that easy.)
