In this time of cumulative crises, our communities are facing harms and forms of breakdown that are political in nature but often not addressed this way. How can we dismantle the structures that keep this a reality, building community-based structures of care, health and healing in their place?
Using art, organising and culture to encourage imagination, Rehearsing Freedoms festival cultivated the exchange of critical ideas, knowledges and practices. Creating spaces to address structural violence and intergenerational trauma, while sustaining our movements as we build towards collective liberation.
From loved ones to community to some of our biggest inspirations, Rehearsing Freedoms was graced by thousands of wonderful friends and comrades. The festival brought in over 5000 registrations, with attendees and practitioners from groups like RESOLVE Collective, IWGB, Copwatch and No More Exclusions.
100+ practitioners and over 80 events of creative exploration, skill building, sharing of ideas, writing of new narratives, showcasing alternative knowledges, breaking bread together and imagining.
