You all were a part of so much joy and creative magic and I cannot thank you enough for your presence and support!!
I built the portal props, we made our own currency and soon we will have a zine !
It was years of dreaming, lots of hard work and we definitely learned for future events, but it was beautiful! Friends and families were creating, frolicking, and just vibing and I loved it. 🥹 This kind of event is so important bc we need fortified spaces for expression and art ! And we need spaces militantly DEVOTED to our joy!
