Experimental Bitch And JACK to Hold Open Call for BITCHIN HEALS Program

Experimental Bitch is seeking artists, cultural workers, activists, merchants and more to join our second annual Bitchin' Heals program co-presented with JACK in Brooklyn from August 10th through August 13th, 2023.

Bitchin' Heals is a week of diverse programming curated by x (artist, organizer) that amplifies disabled joy; centering disabled artists and prioritizing event accessibility. Created by and for disabled people, LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual) people, and Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color, Bitchin' Heals serves as a vessel to increase community access to resources, bridge gaps across the 8 dimensions of wellness, and ultimately reduce mortality rates among oppressed populations by providing tools, techniques, tips, and tricks to achieving self-determination. In a world that does not want us to succeed, what if we survived and thrived, despite it all? From the tangible to the ephemeral, all sentient beings deserve the right to pursue our happiness.
