Plenary Session with Andrew Suseno - I Am Not Here to Fix This....a Collective Embodying Conversation.

ATI will continue to feature anti-racism conversations at our Annual Conference and General Meetings, as we address our systemic racism.  We are pleased to announce that this year's inaugural featured speaker is Andrew Suseno, who will speak lead us in a conversation and plenary session entitled: I Am Not Here To Fix This....a Collective Embodying Conversation.

Please join us for this important conversation with Parcon Resilience, an anti-racist BIPOC centered somatic practice.  Protests for Black Lives Matter rise up throughout the world as global capitalism reels from COVID-19, and authoritarian states backlash to protect white supremacy. ATI and many white centered/ dominated institutions find themselves at a crossroads where they cannot hide behind the guise of being non-racist anymore. As Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to be an Anti-racist, writes, “One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an antiracist. There is no in-between safe space of “not racist.” The claim of “not racist” neutrality is a mask for racism.” In this presentation/workshop, Andrew Suseno, will share his questions in developing a BIPOC centered somatics and what that space might look like for ATI to shift to an anti-racist organization and culture.
