This Saturday, we projected feminist abolition messages on a big building outside a jail construction site. I helped to write the Chinese messages. As someone growing up under strong state censorship around language (still live in its shadow), it moved me so much to see political words in Chinese on a public space. I realized moments like this are part of what defines me as me. (here is a 27s video)

My name is Sol, I currently lead and collaborate in different projects focused on imagination, rest and queer joy.

♡ Salon Amable is a project focused on massages as tools for rest and healing, in a safe space to lie down and enjoy.

♡ With my friend Poni, we have develop a collage and fanzine workshop in order to activate the imagination, dialogue and above all to express multiple narratives through collage and self-publishing (zine).

♡ Finally I am part of a burlesque company called Las Pantis de la Luna, we want to celebrate queer joy, collaborate with LGBTIQ+ artists and explore the sensuality outside heterosexual norms.

I am a writer, primarily, with some of my work being published as part of Africa is a Country's Writing fellowship: https://africasacountry.com/search?query=youlendree+appasamy. I also collage, make zines and created beaded jewelry and tapestry artworks <3 -> https://www.instagram.com/lensbootiek/

I am a descendant of Indian indentured labourers in South Africa - once slavery was abolished, the British sugarcane industry still needed labour on the fields. Many of those enslaved refused to work on plantations, so the British turned to cheap and exploited labourers from South Asia who were sent to South Africa to build the sugar industry here [learning from Mauritius and other plantation economies like in the Carribbean]. Many of these folks were Bahujan/Dalit, as you can see in some of our spiritual/religious traditions. My writing work seeks to uncover the afterlives of indentureship and apartheid in South Africa + unpack Afro-Asian identities, solidarities and ruptures in region. Women, femmes and queer people are always my focus, as we are often erased or deliberately hidden in the archives. I'm a part of the Kutti Collective too, a group of queer Indian South African artists and cultural workers, and this collage comes from a Palestine solidarity art show we took part in to raise funds for our kin in Gaza. --> https://www.instagram.com/kutticollective/

what would help younger feminists, and my peers [as, i think, a young feminist myself!], is knowing we don't need to reinvent the wheel. That there are generous and kind elders and mentors who have done some of the work to reimagine a better world for us. i would like those connections to be made visible

I want younger generations of feminists to be well-versed in and comforted by the history of resistance to all kinds of oppression across the world.

# data[].attributes.body
my biggest dream is to stop erasure in its tracks, to find confidence and comfort in knowing lineages and traditions of resistance, love and care before me. and to not need to be so attached to the past: the chance to freely forge new ways of being, feeling and loving.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have anyone specific in mind, but I hope the collaborations will lead to deepening my understanding of how connected we all are to each other.
