Manifesting the Ecstatic

BrittNEY Frantece and Nanya Jhingran’s project is a collaborative workshop series and zine developed together with Seattle’s black, brown, and indigenous spiritual community members. This project opens a community storytelling space to discuss and teach the ways in which different magickal and spiritual practices are also means of anti-capitalist, anti-colonial resistance. Central to this project is the creation of a zine that pursues world-building and community-making by inviting the participation of self-identified, faith-based practitioners whose traditions are rooted in their ancestral practices. This project aims to elevate everyday, abstractionist, and ecstatic practices of conjuring graceful futures that create relational spaces of pleasure and celebration in Seattle’s black, brown, and indigenous communities.
