Resistance From Bed & Everywhere Else
Activation Residency is a Black trans led artist residency aiming to generate a safer and more collaborative space, adapt to its residents’ needs, and create portals to futures needed now.
Brooklinen has teamed up with Activation Residency to support and invest in the rest and renewal of Black trans people. In the same ways that we take to the streets when Black trans people are murdered by the police, the same energy is needed to center the rest, care, and comfort of Black trans people.
Get involved and learn more about ways you can help Black trans people rest, as a method of resistance, below.
Supporting Rest as Refusal
Whether they’re fighting from bed, the streets or everywhere else, the artists and activists you are about to meet make time for rest and time for joy. Indulge in the beauty of both, below.

A Space to Renew
Activation Residency seeks to activate the creative practice of each resident, redistribute access, resources, and care as well as play with the means of production.
