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

WORKSHOPS
Speculating Queer
Ecologies with
Ama Josephine Budge
Saturday 31st July, 1-4pm
£5 (free tickets available)
This is a 3-hour workshop for Black writers, wannabe-writers,
nerds, and dreamers to collective speculate on Blackness and
Black Queer Ecologies together. Absolute beginners and
those with an established writing practice are welcome. The
session will begin with a reading by speculative writer Ama
Josephine Budge. We’ll then be drawing on the ecologies and
possibilities Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park to think through
the ways in which Blackness and ecology connect and queer
one another opening up new ways of dreaming and manifesting
interspecies futures. The session will be gently paced
and structured towards care and rejuvenation. You will be
offered some speculative pre-reading to begin thinking
through queer ecologies ahead of the session and to inspire
gentle conversations, dreaming and writing. For this workshop
Black is defined as those of African, Afro-Latinx and
Caribbean descent. LGBTQIA+ Black folks are especially welcome.
