angel edwards is a tender flame, a blackqueerandtrans first-gen Jamaican / Philly rooted healer. Through movement channeling, laying hands on scalps, witnessing through photography, tender poetics, and filmmaking, their expansive transness is a compass towards liberation and abundance. angel is committed to healing their wounds by listening to smoke, water, the earth, their ancestors, themselves, and community. They are young and resting, wandering and sweating. They have learned their artistic gifts through non-institutional learning spaces because they don’t believe institutions validate our brilliance, relationships do, we do. angel cultivates black queer and trans brillance and community everyday. They hold this quote by genius Gwendolyn Brooks: “we are each other’s harvest, we are each other’s business, we are each other’s magnitude and bond.”
