Myself and my excellent colleague from our previous(and First!) Creative Drop in a few weeks ago where we discussed “the stuff we don’t talk out loud” brought about beautiful conversations around loneliness to the impact of capitalism!

Tonight we talk about Connection ❤️ from dating apps, ghosting & intimacy.

But never fear! If you dont want to participate in the conversation then you can just happily craft away that we supply OR bring your own unfinished product!

All LGBTQIA folks are welcome from 16 and above, and support humans also.

Light snacks and cuppas are provided.

6pm-8pm
57 Hyde St

We are asking for submissions of photographs with a description of a time/space/place where you feel safety and belonging. Our local q***r orgs are already interested in seeing the results AND we have an exhibition planned next month. There’s a guide on how to participate on the website and the team would love for you to get involved or share this with someone who may want to
