Leave your mark.

 Leave your mark everywhere you can so that white fascism and cis supremacy drowns in a sea of your stories.

 Leave your message scrawled on street corners, written on the walls, painted on the bus stops over body shaming advertisements, on misogynist billboards, across slurs on bathroom stalls.  Transform their hate everywhere you find it.

 Just because they can buy the spaces on the sides of buildings and buses, along the highways and park benches does not make it theirs.  

 These cities are stolen land and you are the mutineers within them.

 All you need is a spray can, a marker, some paper, flour, water and your friends.

 Leave your mark.

 Leave your mark everywhere.

 Take a page from Octavia’s books and write yourself into the present and into the future.   Write stories, create art, make zines, play music, keep a blog, tattoo your friends.

 Every space is an opportunity.  Leave constellations for others to follow to learn from and grow out of.  We are not alone, you are not alone, we are many and we are fighting, surviving, loving and dreaming alongside you.  Make it so each time we go outside we cannot help, but stumble upon you, a reflection of ourselves, our resistance and our dreams.

 One of the contributions to the 2Spirit Warrior Society Raffle are 2 two hour tattoo collaborations with queer artist and tattooist Kiala.  

 https://2spiritwsraffle.tumblr.com/

 Kiala’s works explore their own and shared stories of queer existence, chart narratives of resistance and dream other realities into being.   For many of us our survival is resistance, leaving our mark is courageous, and making art of our dreams transformative.

 This prize is available to anyone on Lkwungen and W̱ŚANÉC territories, or down to travel to collaborate on a tattoo for you with Kiala.

 You can support Kiala’s work directly here:  http://artbykiala.com/handpoked

 And leave your mark.

Leave your mark everywhere because art is too powerful to be contained in the white walls of galleries and you are too important to not tell your story.
