Queer Ecologies at Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park
An artist residency exploring how we live, grow, love, make kin and stand in allyship with the ecologies we are a part of. We’re telling new stories about nature and our connection to it, empowering interspecies collaborations, and honouring the inherently queer patterns and relations found throughout nature. From June—September 2021 we are offering gatherings around a campfire, workshops, performances, and—for the finale—a Microbe Disco where you can dance with the smallest members of the Cemetery Park’s ecosystem! People of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome, with a particular welcome for queer, trans, sick, disabled and Queer, Trans, Intersex, Black folks, and people of colour (QTIBPOC) folks. All events are ticketed - some are free, and some on a sliding scale with free tickets available. To book, please go to: http://tiny.cc/queerecologies
