Meeting The Unruly Dead: Workshop with SL Grange
25 June 2021
3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Part of The History Bois residency at ONCA Barge, this online workshop run by poet, drag king and artist SL Grange is for folks wanting to connect with their Queer tr/ancestors.
Using writing, drawing and performative processes, we’ll create our own rituals and art to uncover, honour and meet lost queer heroes. If you already know which member of the unruly dead you want to work with, bring them along. Alternatively, SL Grange can suggest some historical Queeroes for you to discover during the workshop. All art practices at all levels of experience welcome. You’ll just need a bit of uninterrupted time and space to participate via Zoom from the comfort of your own home.
Age suitability: 18 +
