About the Event:

The event will be one of a few activities which change each month, varying from life drawing, potlucks, creative writing workshops, discussion groups, and networking mixers. These events are for up to 30 attendees. Anyone who is a queer person of colour can attend regardless of age and ability.

 

About the Facilitator:

Hi I’m Temi. I am one of the 3 leaders of Saffron Cherry. All 3 of us are queer and people of colour. I have been leading this collective for 9 months but I have attended Saffron Cherry community events since its inception a year ago. Aside from Saffron Cherry, I have been volunteering in cultural and community collectives for two years including the Edinburgh University African and Caribbean Society and Edinburgh University’s Geographical Society. In these roles I have developed experience in event planning and creative workshop facilitating. I have organised several art and music workshops centred around creativity and Black identity as part of my academic research and am excited to offer similar workshops to the queer POC community.

 

About Donations: 

Participation in our community-led events is on a voluntary ‘by donation’ basis. This means that nobody is expected to make a payment if they cannot afford to do so.

Any donations received will be shared between the Centre and the facilitator, helping to make the events’ programme sustainable as well as to provide some reciprocity towards community facilitators’ time and skills offered.

Where a “suggested donation” is listed, this is just an indication of what the event might cost if it was ticketed.

This is an invitation to practice ‘Dana’ (generosity) – please pay only what you can afford to attend.

To donate:

  • bring cash
  • donate online on  www.salisburycentre.org/donate  (Please use reference “EVENT NAME“).
  • Card payment option available at the entrance hall (Please enter the event name before making payment)
