Tada Hozumi

is a developer and practitioner of cultural somatics working out of Unceded Coast Salish Territories (so-called Canadian Pacific North West).

At the core of their practice is the understanding that all oppressions, including white supremacy, are energetic ailments of both the individual and cultural body. Tada believes that individual healing cannot be whole without tending to the cultural, and vice versa, that cultural change cannot be in good faith without tending to all of the bodies that make up the collective. In their spare time, Tada is a devout student of popping, a mechanical street dance that emerged from black and brown communities along the West Coast of Turtle Island during the 1970s.
