Oct 31 – bitches brew

when my body is mine i will tell them
with my belly&bones
do not touch the de
or let your hands burn black
with your unsettlement
there are no metaphors here

Extract from Evelyn Araluen

Decolonial poetics (avant gubba) 

Vessel would like to acknowledge that witchcraft, dark magic and occult are concepts that have been used and continue to be used as an oppressive tool to diminish and demonise the voice of women, particularly indigenous women and women of colour and queer people.

We would like to pay our respects to the people who have come before us. We would like to be a vessel in the reclaiming of feminine and queer power through this stellar line up.
