The workshop series "Body Tongues" by the artist Sall Lam Toro explores performance and movement as tools to investigate multimodal corporealities for trans and nonbinary people. The course consists of a series of body positive movement workshops with both conversation and somatic exercises. There will be sharing space for reflections and exchanges about experiences within the healthcare system, for example concerns, knowledge, experiences and thoughts about treatment in the wider healthcare system, CKI or Center for Sexology. The workshops depart from playful and caring somatic exercises that allow trans and non-binary people to explore new creations of the body and self in a safe, collective space facilitated by the artist.

The workshops are held at Huset i Hasserisgade in Aalborg.

The next workshop is 15 and 16 April 2023 at 1-4pm.

A separatist workshop for trans people on rage by Sall Lam Toro and Eli Ståhl

Through conversation, collective reading, writing exercises and body movement, this workshop aims to create a space for investigating rage from a trans perspective. Using both the personal experiences of the group as well as writings by Susan Stryker and others as a starting point, we ask if rage is foundational to being trans? We investigate rage as both a suppressed and privileged affect. How may we nurture, move, and build action from it?

The workshop is a separatist space for anyone and everyone who identifies as trans. No prior knowledge of the subject is required.

Sign up to the workshop via email at info.limcollective@gmail.com. In the email, please include your name and any access needs. The workshop is split across two days; we advise participating in both.

The workshop is in English.

Saturday 30/9 1-4pm Buens Bogcafe, Maren Turis Gade 12, st, 9000 Aalborg
Sunday 1/10 1-4pm Huset i Hasserisgade, Hasserisgade 10, 9000 Aalborg
