Dreaming Practice

In this workshop, participants explore the collective creation of our future world, by grounding us in our personal power and the skills we have to make it a reality. Rooted in social justice, climate justice, and critical race theory, we explore value based creation, the how-to’s of building change, and the power of freed imaginations.

Adonis Critter King, is a Black and nonbinary, inter-disciplinary poet, writer, theatre creator, director, facilitator, and activist. Their arts practice is rooted in social justice as daily practice, revolution as habit that starts in the home, and QT2BIMPOC safe space curation. Their work uses afro-surrealism, visionary fiction, and The Poetic Surreal to explore the joys and complexities of mad and disabled QT2MBIPOC life, the unsettling nature of becoming, and the difficult choices we must make to liberate our futures.

Adonis was the 2016 Youth Poet Laureate of Victoria, the 2017 recipient of the VACCS (Victoria African & Caribbean Cultural Society) Community recognition Award, and in 2020 they received the Witness Legacy Award for Social Purpose and Responsibility Through Art.
