Setting the Table: Anti-Oppression Workshop

  • Workshop
  • June 12, 2019

    Richmond Cultural Centre Dance Studio
    2nd Floor at Richmond Arts Centre

     

    Cicely Belle Blain will be leading a workshop to understand the basics of anti-oppression work. Learn how to be more inclusive and respectful and engage in work that propels you and your staff to being a central part of a more equitable future for all.

    Setting the Table is a series of talks, performances, screenings and weave-ins that explore how different people share community and support one another. It is a showcase of LGBTQ2S artists, activists and leaders who present work on intersectional issues and allyship.

    Following the workshop, Paige Gratland will direct the group in an activity to help weave a portion of the place setting for the Branscombe House Pride Picnic and Social in August.

    The event is free, but please RSVP to ensure we have adequate art supplies available.
    Accessible venue, materials supplied, no weaving experience needed.
