5:00pm - 9:00pm
As Donna Haraway puts it in Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Chthulucene: Staying with the Trouble; “In the midst of The Three Guineas Virginia Woolf insists, “Think we must.” Think we must. If ever there has been a time for the need seriously to think, it is now”.
In challenging times, it can feel overwhelming to “stay with the trouble”. It can feel impossible to imagine a better world, but if you cannot imagine a better future, it will not happen.
A great remedy to feeling stuck is to act, so come and make together in this workshop. Artist Helga Jakobson will guide participants in a mixed media banner, bunting or pennant making workshop.
Come and sit in community and write a message for a better world. There will be collage and textiles supplies available.
