Talk Creative Collaborations with Young Artists Bloomzeye (They/Them/Theirs) In their talk, Creative Collaborations with Young Artists, Bloomzeye shares what creative autonomy can look like for children and teens when collaborating with adults in artistic projects. In hostiles environment where young artists are told not to be who they are or create what they want, it's vital for adults and experienced creatives to meet children, teens, and young people in their communities at their own level, and to show them that if that you as an adult made it here and are still going, so can they!

A poem titled “Useless words” with the separate letters w, o, r, d, and s, vertically slanted one by one, underneath the word “Useless”. “One day these bombs will stop travelling and this death-filled air that wraps the planet will announce the release of a persisting breeze of eternal mourning. We will look at history books, full of sanitised pages and confident rhetoric. We will use words, from the law that failed. Words that weren't uttered when they actually mattered. We will say we moved as food, water and medicine were brutally removed. We will say we refused to settle, with evil we continued to wrestle. We will say a lot of meaningless words Irrelevant, failing, and useless words” “Khawla in grief”
