Queer & Trans Water Ritual is part of an ongoing practice and body of work by Anna Goodman Herrick, that includes published writing, interdisciplinary art, text work, community gatherings, rituals, and installation.
The practice explores gender, queerness, connection, sovereignty, embodiment, ritual, ceremony and access, and invites us to do so together, rather than in isolation.
