  2. S2 Ep 4: Fractals of Desire w/ YaliniDream and Adaku Utah

Aug 30, 2021

In this conversation, Aisha explores following embodied pleasure as the rhythm that agitates for wider social change with YaliniDream and Adaku Utah, two brown queer justice-focused, body-centered transformers of community. 

TOPICS 

  • Defining desire from the body - its connotations, dualities and realms of existence
  • How we become separated from embodied desire and the returning to body intimacy
  • Desire in a queer body, brown body, first generation body
  • Discerning desire from compulsion
  • Moratorium on the damage narrative: Complexity of desire at a community level - balancing accountability for harm with safety, resilience and the abundance of belonging
  • Unwinding generations of colonial harm from the body to discover pleasure
  • Practices of cultivating pleasure, play and desire
