A Special Reading of Your Healing Is Killing Me: a fundraiser benefiting Dreams of Hope
A Special Reading of Your Healing is Killing Me by Virginia Grise: a fundraiser benefiting Dreams of Hope.
Your Healing is Killing Me is a performance manifesto based on lessons learned in San Antonio free health clinics and New York acupuncture schools; from the treatments and consejos of curanderas, abortion doctors, Marxist artists, community health workers, and bourgie dermatologists. It is the artist’s reflections on living with post-traumatic stress disorder, ansia, and eczema in the new age of trigger warnings, the master cleanse, and Kickstarter-funded self-care.
