Festival of Activism Against Sexual Violence 2021 Healing is messy. We often hear about the journey of healing from those who have processed much of their pain, but what if you don't feel like the archetypal ‘empowered survivor’? Is there space to feel angry, ambivalent or confused in discussions about recovery? In this event from the inaugural Shameless! Festival of Activism Against Sexual Violence, panellists discuss why it's crucial to understand the difficult parts of healing, and hold space for the full complexity of emotions and how we survive. Content warning: This talk addresses sensitive and difficult subjects, including sexual violence. This session is opened by a spoken word performance by award-winning poet and survivor Amarachi Rachel Nwokoro. Panel includes The Way We Survive author, Catriona Morton (Chair); poet, survivor and founder of Black Mind Rachel Nwokoro; speaker and activist Sabah Choudrey; artist and survivor Tashmia Owen; and therapist Davina Dobbs. Shameless! Festival of Activism Against Sexual Violence took place on 27th November 2021, created in collaboration by Birkbeck’s SHaME project and WOW - Women of the World. The festival featured high profile speakers, survivors, researchers and medical professionals, alongside performances by incredible artists, poets and musicians, interactive workshops, ‘how to’ clinics, wellness spaces and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5841f312579fb3ad1bf7288d/1665672561883-QLCAH2LBKCO9OQSZO2KT/image-asset.jpeg Watch - Lollipop - L'il Wank Stayne & Minnie @ The Glory, Man Up April 2022 Can you spot the moment of on stage vom and move on? It's super subtle and hard to spot but we trust you to find it! Welcome to the unnatural progression of a wild love affair - a stanky fish fiasco - Lil Wank Stayne and Minnie are dominated the olfactory (smelling) muscles of the Glory audience at the Man Up heat and are whirling their way towards the grand final of Europe's biggest drag king competition!

The one person who kept her going, her other half, decided he couldn't cope with her problems any more. She thinks about seeing him, or at least posting a card. However, she already feels too ashamed and changes her mind. She sees happy couples everywhere and sinks even lower. When she bumps into a friend, she decides to lie about how she is doing. They both know it's a lie, but she is afraid of pushing more people away with her problems. The weight of her secret is becoming too much to bear.

It represents three distinct aspects of my unconscious - Little Rachel on the left: my inner child, Chiedozie in the centre: (my first name) the embodied goddess on earth: the awakened feminine in human form with activated powers of abundance and lastly, the ancestral spirit draped around the goddess’ shoulders on the right - Akuwamgbe (my spiritual name): “wealth should be universal” - a representation of my ancestral self, of eternity and of the divine infinite cosmos of potential that lives in us all. My studies involve relating to aspects of self beyond the human form and exploring animal guides as well as the csomic mirrors available to us through the stars. In the piece, the hedgehog and tortoise are represented because these two animal spirits have been healing friends on my path - teaching me much (whether it be through spikes or shells) about the changeable nature of the soul and spirit. The tortoise/turtle - symbol of Agwu (divine wisdom in Igbo cosmology) has provided plentiful support in learning how to slow down, pace and learn how to ground through the chaos of embodying emotional vulnerability. Little Amarachi on the left is grieving into the sunshine - what she sees is the painful policing of Black beings by our institutions and the violence of colonialism through time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5841f312579fb3ad1bf7288d/1753327506581-IOI51KQUSTEUDX2UVEA3/727a8b5e-7e6b-427a-a668-a32ce69b372d.JPG artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5841f312579fb3ad1bf7288d/1753327436407-5GF6AC96HFH1D30R1J7P/294EEF2F-10D4-4108-A76E-BFF9F8D422A2.JPG artist - Chinnamastika: On living while decapitated. : 30th January 2022⁣ ⁣ : 3D Painting⁣ ⁣ : acrylic paints, oil paints, goldleaf, glitter, Amarachi’s menstrual blood, gold sequins, chalk pastels, oil pastels ⁣ ⁣ : This piece is a reimagining of the feminine spirit - Chinnamastika - the goddess of contradictions. Chinnamasta is a uniquely intense form of the divine energy Kali Ma, known as the self decapitating goddess. In Hinduism and various other spiritualities rooted in Asia, she has been received with limited perspectives and adverse reactions. Westerners often turn their nose up to the obscure and deeply esoteric aspects of spiritual awakening that she embodies. She has been demonised as a macabre psychic deviation rather than embraced for the spiritual essences that she represents: routes to self-actualisation that fly beyond preconceived ideas of conventionalism and the status quo.⁣ ⁣ Often described as a sixteen year old girl with full breasts, Chinnamasta carries her own severed head (in a platter or a skull-bowl) in one hand. Held in the other hand is a khatri (a scimitar or knife) that she has used to decapitate herself. Like Kali, Chinnamasta is mostly depicted nude and with “dishevelled hair” in a blood red, blue or black coloured body. Among many things, she is a meditation on the dance between sexual energy and sexual control. I was attracted to reimagining Chinnamasta in the form of the African feminine as a way to confront the body shame, sacrifice, violence, revelation and regeneration that can surface during intimacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5841f312579fb3ad1bf7288d/830e5691-4817-4f73-a743-547a47ddae5e/main.jpg artist - Make it stand out : Fragile Motherland ⁣ : 23rd May 2022⁣ ⁣ : Sculpture⁣ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5841f312579fb3ad1bf7288d/c303cd68-2e9a-41dc-be92-e630458960bf/IMG_5103+copy.jpg artist - Make it stand out : Fragile Motherland ⁣ : 23rd May 2022⁣ ⁣ : Sculpture⁣ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5841f312579fb3ad1bf7288d/466cd8d4-bf0a-48aa-aa28-b94f24dc30c5/agatha+was+black.jpg artist - Make it stand out "Agatha was Black - Unmasking martyrdom" Date of Completion: 10th March 2023 Media: 32 x 40 in. on canvas Materials including but not limited to: acrylic paints, oil paints, chalk pastels, oil pastels, burnt plastic handcuffs, dried wild mushroom, glitter, dried flower essences: yellow and red rose, lily, woolly hegnettle alka lamb’s ear, chinese mock orange, daffodil, yellow stonecrop, seaweed from Lime Cay in Jamaica, bourgeon villas, purple blooms, cedar leaves, mimosa tree flowers aka natural pink silk from Jamaica, metallic pen, glitter pens, Amarachi’s menstrual blood : I often experience body dysmorphic states and this topic is rarely spoken about with compassion in African communities. I grieve often about the fact that African women are the only beings in living human history that have had their reproductive functions systemically enslaved - the wet nurses (then called “sucklers”) that were forced to nurture white children while their own children were neglected. This form of psychological and reproductive torture takes lifetimes to heal. It is these taboo, post-traumatic portals that I paint with each stroke of the canvas. I confront the lived experience of Black beings raised as girls and how that socialisation still lives in our bodies, affecting our nervous systems, how we relate to our sexuality and right to choose. I have felt comfort from honouring a feminine ancestor (Agatha) who embodied a sacred “no” until her last breath. It is easy to feel low self esteem as a violence survivor, especially as an African femme. Painting St. Agatha has given me space to grieve the adultification of young African girls and to celebrate the supernatural resilience that disrupts every torture we face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5841f312579fb3ad1bf7288d/7d2d744d-d3a0-4eb3-8962-147d6a74ae47/IMG_5108+copy.jpg artist - Make it stand out : Remembering Biafra : 23rd May 2022⁣ ⁣ : Sculpture⁣ ⁣ : A Scrapbook with clippings from the Biafra Newsletter lays flat on a table covered with blue patterned cloth.
