Radical Futures: Angel Music for the Weelaunee Forest
Thursday, June 29, 2023
7:30 PM EDT - 8:30 PM EDT
As a continuation of the AKTIV8 PORTAL series, AnAkA will create AKTIV8 PORTAL (6) in Atlanta, GA by performing to the trees and revolutionaries protecting them in the sacred Weelaunee Forest. As a descendant of these Muskogee and Cherokee lands, AnAkA will perform Angel Music as a bio frequency medicine for the land, the people and beyond.
About Radical Futures
Radical Futures was born out of the crisis of the current moment. In the wake of the white supremacist shootings in Atlanta, continued police brutality in Black and Brown communities, as well as looming climate catastrophe, this workshop series is inspired by the following questions: How do we form strong, autonomous communities? What do we envision strong, autonomous communities looking like? How do we keep police out of them? How do we develop faith in a better future? What skills do we need to build a more radical future?
Through the Radical Futures workshop series we strive to build stronger communities– to not only survive as Queer and Trans People of Color but also to change our circumstances. While born from a moment of crisis, this program is sustained by faith in each other, and a belief that change starts on our block.

Our Artist
AnAkA
AnAkA (she/he/they) applies ancestral root work techniques to all of their artistic and cultural practices. AnAkA utilizes visual, herbal and sonic preservation as a tool to reclaim severed wisdoms, due to the echoing generational disturbances global colonization has caused. Since 2012, AnAkA has cultivated an ethnographic project entitled AKTIV8: an original archive created with the intention to document and strengthen the heartbeat of the global Indigenous movements and rituals of our current time. AKTIV8 is an archive, a research center, land preservation project, as well as a creative studio for stories being told that honor sacred wisdom. The intention is to bridge the gap of reverence that exists between the institutional arts world and the traditional stories of the very much still existing ancient cultures of AfroIndigenous peoples. AKTIV8 PORTAL experiences have been touring the world since 2021 gracing places such as NYC, LA and Paris in order to share the AKTIV8 Archive and its sacred wisdoms in safe space. Through this work, AnAkA advocates for the rights of artists and healers desiring the freedom to exchange wisdom in sovereign spaces.
