cuando el no-se-que arrives...
This is always about everything. Apathy. Disgust. Rhythm and rage. Digging and digging until you finally uncover the bones you didn’t even know were there. Is this celebration or mourning? Or both? I’ve never felt so…connected to you like this before. Tracing presence and the spaces in between. Like flossing teeth or tying shoes, who taught you to do it in that specific way?
I used to inhabit a room with deep blue walls with a map of the world on one of those walls. “Me voy para alla y para alla y para alla,” I said.

Wrappings
Cover or enclose (someone or something) in paper or soft material. To be wrapped up in. Covering for warmth or protection. To bandage. To heal. To bind. Stay breathing, no matter what wrappings hold this body.

Europa Grace is a mixed-race Afro-Caribbean spoken word poet, movement artist and educator from New York based in San Francisco. They forge a tool from movement and language to access and embody a plurality of presence. Movement as healing, word as healing, beauty as healing. As a black queer non-binary femme Europa moves from a place of lived experience, after all - the personal is political.RELEASE THE VENUS
