Club Queirdo: Macramé Rainbow Flags by Cole Harbour Public Library
Try your hand at the art of knot tying: macramé. Make a rainbow wall hanging in the colours of your favourite Pride flag to show yourself or your support.
Club Queirdo is Cole Harbour’s Interschool GSA, so it is the perfect way to meet other queer teens (although allies are also very welcome)!
Join us the first Thursday of each month for a different activity.
Cole Harbour Public Library, no registration, open to students in grades 5-12
Prominent Canadian transgender artist Cassils will discuss their latest work regarding social sculpture, the human body, and gender.
In their speaking engagements, Cassils projects a combination of strength and vulnerability, intersecting art with 2SLGBTQIA+ rights and anti racist practices. Imparting an empowering message about personal responsibility, Cassils lectures on art evoke empathy and its failures, moving audiences towards respect and appreciation of all individuals while advocating for positive change.
As a trans-masculine, gender nonconforming feminist artist, Cassils understands what it means to be underrepresented. People from diverse backgrounds, whether it is their gender, sexuality, ethnicity, physical ability, or class, are often discouraged by a system that works against them. In order to motivate students, Cassils steers them to develop their own unique visual language by exposing them to contemporary artists working in the field, art history, political ideologies, and philosophical paradigms, which in turn helps them develop critical thinking skills.
