41st Annual EWOCC: The Art of Furious Love: Solidarity, Self-Care, and Collective Power

“The Art of Furious Love: Solidarity, Self-Care, and Collective Power” celebrates the radical, unyielding, and deeply intentional love that womxn of color embody as we build, resist, heal, and transform. Furious love is not unchecked anger but love sharpened into clarity. It is the fierce insistence that our lives, our communities, and our futures are worthy of protection, nourishment, and liberation.

EWOCC 41 centers on the idea that love in all its forms is an act of defiance in this capitalist system that benefits from our exhaustion and silence. Through solidarity, we remember that we are not alone. Through self-care, we reclaim our bodies, our joy, and our right to rest. Through collective power, we imagine new possibilities to shape the world we deserve.

Together, we will explore how womxn of color create movements rooted in compassion and courage, how we sustain our spirits while fighting for justice, how we honor both the softness and the fire within us, and how, when we come together, our love becomes a force capable of shifting culture, rewriting narratives, and transforming entire communities.
