An emerging virtual support group on grieving and getting curious with our rage.

What to expect from this container:

  • Peer-led space to navigate and support our anger and grief consciously and collectively

  • Practice compassion for thoughts and feelings around death and anger.

  • No tolerance for racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, misogyny, and other forms of oppression.

Who is facilitating this container?

Trishia Frulla and Rafi Bunal

We are not here to fix anyone’s grief, but to make space to hold it for a short while with you.

Rage, Reactions, Resilience ft. Risa Puno

Rage, Reactions, Resilience ft. Risa Puno

Anger as Medicine:
Rage, Reactions, Resilience

What happens when we suppress our rage? What about when we deny it altogether? In this interactive session, we’ll explore how we experience and express anger—how we’ve been taught to manage it, what it costs us (and what it ignites), and how we might reclaim it on our own terms.

What to expect from this container:

  • Artist-led space to navigate and support our anger consciously and collectively

  • No tolerance for racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, misogyny, and other forms of oppression.

Risa Puno

Risa Puno is an interactive artist who takes play seriously. She packages complex social topics into disarmingly fun experiences to help people connect more openly and easily. Her work often involves game-like elements that give people the framework and permission to push their limits within a safe space, while allowing them the freedom to tap into genuine emotions.

Puno’s work is grounded in a pre-colonial Philippine ideology called ‘kapwa’ that means “shared identity” or “shared humanity”; it is the idea that we navigate through spaces with a community rather than alone. Her goal is to help bridge personal and collective experiences, inviting people to reimagine our social structures and how we engage with one another.

Puno was selected by Creative Time as their inaugural Open Call winner in 2019 and her resulting project, “The Privilege of Escape,” won Most Innovative Immersive Experience in the 2019 Immersion Awards.
