One Year of *S*P*A*C*E
Come join us for a crafting session at the Barbican. Bring your summer projects and crafts.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?:
A space to dream of better futures, where technical decisions aren't ruled by a couple of billionaires, where war isn't seen as inevitable, and human rights & democracy are guiding principles for businesses.
WHO IS THIS SPACE FOR:
For anyone who has been working against techno-solutionism/techno-fascism/techno-chauvinism and feels burned out by the geopolitics of the day.
WHAT'S THE PLAN:
We get together and get creative. Bring a lego set, a whittling project, a some paintbrushes, pencils, a sketchpad, an embroidery project, a dressmaking pattern & fabric, a potato for printing, your knitting, you get the idea. We'll also supply pens & paper, embroidery hoops, and magazines for collaging.
We make things with our hands and we dream.
We give you s p a c e.
BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A WASTE OF TIME - WE NEED ACTION:
We need to recharge too. We need to remind ourselves about why we do this work. We need community and reflection.
We'll also bring a set of prompts to help us connect to the work of resistance.
Drop in for an hour or stay for 4. BYO Snacks.
