Relational Education and Activism
Presenter Bio
brontë’s work and rest is guided by the cosmology and promise of sabbath for black people and the land. brontë is a black-boricua transdisciplinary ritual artist, shepherd, curandere, educator, and wakeworker. their eco-social art praxis lives at the intersections of black feminist placemaking, abolitionist theologies, environmental regeneration, death doulaship, and the levity of absurdity.
the prayer of their life is to support safe and hilarious passage through climate collapse. they don’t know if we will get to the “other side” but are interested in the quality of care, attention and miracles we can receive and offer to each other and the earth on the present path. they care for the crossroads of attending to black health/imagination, commemorative justice (Free Egunfemi) and hospicing the shit that hurts black folks and the earth through serving as creative director for Lead to Life ritual arts collective and adult programs director/educator for ancestral arts skills and nature-connection school Weaving Earth.
they are currently co-conjuring a film with esperanza spalding in collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony and practicing pastoral care (in an ecological and ministerial sense) as a co-steward of The School for Inclement Weather in Kashia Pomo territory in northern California.
