Queer Stitch ‘n’ Beach

About this event

Join a 2 hour gathering of 5–9 participants for queer craft, conversation, and reflection at Hanlan’s Point Beach—a significant 2SLGBTQIA+ site. As part of the exhibition The Wild and the Weeds, artist Morris Fox will lead a “Stitch ‘n’ Beach.” Inspired by “stitch ’n’ bitch” circles, this creative session explores themes of queer memory, ecological grief, sexuality, and queer presence in public green spaces. We’ll beach, chat, and craft together—contributing to a collaborative project. Participants are welcome to bring their own craft work, the artist will also have crayons, blank patches, paper, to make frottage. Material from the event will be scanned and included in two of the artist’s research outputs include a collage book and mixtape. This session is part of a PhD project on queer ecologies, gothic sensibility, and collective worldmaking at Concordia University. We are hoping that participants are curious about how this event could be beneficial to their feelings about queerness, nature, the socio-political climate we are in, and contributing to a queer toolkit. We seek participants who self-identify within the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectra and are 18+ years of age.
