Doncaster Pride

This year's #UKPride is hosted by our member Doncaster Pride on 10 August. This week they launched their #Pride bus that will go on tour to promote the event. #Pride2024

We are thrilled to announce our sponsorship of Doncaster Pride 2024! As a learning community that embraces diversity and inclusivity, we are honored to stand with Doncaster's LGBTQ+ community and celebrate this summer. #DoncasterPride2024 #ukpridedoncaster

Pride is a protest. Pride is a party. Pride is action. Pride is work. Arist Lady Kitt has been reflecting on conversations with LGBTQ+ people in Doncaster about Pride. ‘Everyone I’ve talked to in Doncaster about Pride says it’s amazing, wonderful, galvanising and exciting. They also say it’s overwhelming, draining, complicated and tiring’. In an attempt to offer ways of navigating the complex and tiring aspects of Pride, they are asking people; “What spaces, colours, sounds, textures and atmospheres do we need to create places of pause, rest and reflection within Pride?” 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Join artist @lady.kitt1 for an art workshop and ‘Rest Fest!’ Make collage artworks in a relaxed and gentle atmosphere, which investigate and share your ideas about the connections between Pride, rest and creativity. Online Workshop (Book your free online space!) 👉Tuesday 14 May 6.30 - 8pm https://lnkd.in/e-MMcE5h  In Person Workshop (Book your free space!) 👉Saturday 1 June 2.45 - 4.30pm https://lnkd.in/erTjarjk (Links are in bio!) Kitt will facilitate activities, exercises and questions which invite LGBTQ+ people in Doncaster to share ideas of what they find restful and restorative.  For more information on the workshops please visit our webpage 👉 https://lnkd.in/edyeyKF2 After the workshop Kitt will take inspiration from the artworks created and ideas shared to make an installation within UK Pride in Doncaster this August. #CreateYourPlace Doncaster Pride Arts Council England Andro and Eve
