Event Details

 

This workshop aims to explore the historical influences of colonization on our perceptions of love, relationships, and non-monogamy, and how to decolonize these constructs for more inclusive and authentic connections. Participants will break down Eurocentric norms of love, such as monogamy and nuclear families.

They will also discuss how colonial languages have shaped the way we describe love and relationships. Participants will be put into groups so they can brainstorm alternative, culturally sensitive terms for non-monogamous relationships.

 

This event is part of the “Love is Polytical” 2024 Conference for Ethical & Intersectional Polyamory/Non-Monogamy and can be purchased as a solo event or part of our day or full conference tickets.
