IWF HAD FULL ACCESS TO ASL INTERPRETERS AND HOSTED ALL AGES; AND A VARIETY OF CULTURES, INCLUDING NAI, LGBTQAI2S+ AND DEAF PRESENTERS. ALL PARTICIPANTS ADDRESSED THE IWF'S THEME: "RE-EMERGENCE". CHILDREN AND ADULTS DANCED ON THE GRASS, WHILE OTHER GOT THEIR FACES PAINTED, LOCAL ARTISTS SOLD THEIR GOODS AND NETWORKED, AND MOST OF ALL, EVERYONE HAD A PLACE TO GATHER AND FEEL SAFE.
