Dear Parijat, as the systems fail and silence grows heavy, I turn to you. Fragile, Fallen, Still Fragrant. Why are we making art in times of collapse, injustice, and grief. Is it resistance? A record? A refuge?
We are developing a radical, community-led toolkit that explores the intersections of queerness, climate collapse, and mental health, in our bodies, our organizing, and our futures. To build this with integrity, we are hosting three intimate online consultations, each designed to uplift different kinds of expertise: lived experience, creative care, and policy action.
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer—three simple yet powerful steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Much like CPR helps someone in a cardiac emergency, QPR equips people with practical tools to recognize the early warning signs of suicide, intervene with confidence, and connect the person to life-saving support.
Our hope is to connect with these voices, and reimagine environmental justice through a queer and trans-inclusive lens, and work toward an ecologically equitable future for all.
