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

Safer Spaces Policy
We call it a "safer" space in order to acknowledge that
we've been conditioned under white-supremacist, heteronormative,
capitalist patriarchy which means we can
all bring oppression with us into the room/landscape.
However, by working towards these aims we can establish
shared values and practices as well as a commitment
to accountability models that allow us to openly
work with conflict, oppression, and silencing.
In this space, we will call out and interrupt systems of
oppression and hate speech including racist behaviour,
homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism,
ableism, colourism, bodyshaming/fat-phobia and
classism. We ask you all to commit to doing this as well,
to working towards this safer space together - a space
we are all responsible for maintaining and improving.
We trust you to know what you need, and invite you to
share your needs with others or to ask us for support in
working that out.
We expect you to be aware of your intersecting privileges
and the ways in which your conditioning might
silence, speak-for or make spaces feel less safe for others.
We ask you not to speak on behalf of, or over, life
experiences that are not your own. Please be mindful of
this when you make contributions to collective discussions.
We practice close, attentive listening and compassionate
correction (for example with pronouns etc.)
