This Sunday, June 2nd, from 4-6pm, we’ll be making botanical illustrations of plants from Palestine through our Queer Creatives Space session. With all the horrible and nightmarish footage coming out of Rafah, we thought this project would be a gentle way of processing grief around the continued genocide in Palestine. We also want this project to nurture resilience and hope, while the land of Palestine and its people face so much destruction. There will be images of native plants to Palestine to reference for your illustrations, as well as a range of drawing materials.
This QCS session will take place at 2482 Maynard Street Kjipuktuk/ Halifax, out of Wonder’neath’s Project Room. Access notes for this space can be found in the provided link: https://shorturl.at/ijUY6
Masks are required to attend, but can be provided on site. N95s, KN95s or other high quality masks are also encouraged. If you have reason to suspect you have COVID, don't attend.
This arts programming is free and is intended for queer, trans, and questioning folks.
We won’t have a person providing an active listener service solely during this session as a heads up, as it’s not within our budget right now. Robin does have active listening skills if folks do need to check in with someone. This being said, with their main focus being project facilitation, we do encourage folks to try their best not to push themselves beyond capacity in engaging with this project.
Per usual, folks are welcome to bring their own projects, so long as it isn’t sensory heavy. We’ll also be providing snacks and hydration options. There will be a low sensory room available that has noise canceling headphones, dim lighting, and stim toys. This programming is drop in and all ages friendly.
5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Be Kind and Grind, Show 1
The night began like many others. The troupe had gathered to hatch plans for the next big show in Kristyn’s humble Halifax apartment. The fridge was fully stocked with gay water and Mister O’Mazing’s pockets were busting with pre-rolled joints. Unbeknownst to the crew, these joints were loaded with intergalactic ganja supplied by our Planet Pride cosmic allies during their last trip through the Milky Way. The troupe was soon giggling with TH-Glee. There was more than one hot box in the apartment and Kristyn needed some fresh air. The troupe was then horrified to discover that the space smoke had reversed the polarity on Kristyn’s VHS cassettes and every one of her movies had been erased. Knowing this would destroy their beloved host, the crew leapt into action to recreate her favourite films. Will she discover the ruse? How long can the troupe keep it up?
The troupe accidentally erases every single movie in Kristyn’s vast VHS collection. Knowing this will destroy her, they quickly get to work recreating her favourite films. Will they pull off the dickception? Or will she uncover their dickery? How long can the troupe keep it up? Come find out.
