Workers Arts and Heritage Centre co-presented with Fruit Salad
On the afternoon of June 8 the Workers Arts & Heritage Centre would like to invite Hamilton's LGBTQ2S+ community to Celebrate Pride Month at WAHC! Swing by the Custom House backyard for a garden party, co-presented with Hamilton's own, Fruit Salad. Soak in the sun, take up space and embrace rest as a revolutionary act! As the famous labour poem Eight Hours by I.G Blanchard puts it:
We want to see the sunshine, We want to smell the flowers;…Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest, Eight hours for what we will!
There’ll be crafts, lawn games (croquet anyone?), the opportunity to tend to the Stuart Street community garden, and on-theme snacks (think lemonade and strawberries). There will also be a poetry circle facilitated by local poet, John Hill, who will be providing prompts and making space to share your work. So bring your favourite picnic blanket and grab a couple of friends for an afternoon of fun in the sun! If you are interested in taking part in some gardening let us know in advance.
