Sembrando comunidad 2024 – Movimiento Afrolatino Seattle

Sembrando comunidad 2024 is a community approach by Gemaly Padua in Seattle. Among the planned activities we will have: Welcome / Territory Awareness: Welcome to the territory, gather for lunch together to welcome Gemaly to the Duwamish territory and talk about What does it mean to be here in Seattle doing fandango?

Body Mapping WorkshopThe body mapping workshop is a tool to self-identify in our body the physical and internal injuries that are stored in the body, through drawing, cut-outs and so on. It is also a way to generate a safe and trusting space to talk about it and share the ways in which we deal with these wounds.
