Experience XRYSALIS 2017 in the visual album. Relive the memories below.
THE VISION
The purpose of XRYSALIS is to address the long, drawn-out history of systematic domination, oppression and erasure of QTIPoC (Queer Trans Intersex People of Color) voices, herstories and culture under post-colonial rule today. We endeavor to eternally displace the omni-present and omni-potent forces of heteronormativity and racial supremacy by tackling them on an internal and community-based level.
Self-love through collective healing is our only approach and solution to the problem of internalized and embodied racist, homophobic and trans-phobic violence. We provide a dynamic sanctuary - exclusively for QTIPoC folk - outside the gaze of our white, heteronormative and patriarchal society. This free and open space will be the site of communal healing and empowerment; a place in nature where we can all showcase - in full color and pride - our most honest selves.
We come together to unite our communities by providing a lifetime inspiration and connections within our local communities and beyond. Our curriculum is focused on: arts, healing, social entrepreneurship, self-sustainability and social impact. Every month, XRYSALIS, members are invited to a wide variety of events that include discussions with thought-leaders, curators, performances, cocktail and dinner parties, film screenings, health & wellness activities and getaways.
And always, FOR-US BY-US.
