Cuttings: Workshop with Kaan K and Leo Hargreaves

Tuesday 19 November 2024 6.30–8.30pm NewBridge Gallery

In the lead-up to Transgender Day of Remembrance, join us to create a living altar of trans remembrance.

This is the first in a series of events holding space for collective grieving. The space will be held by poet, drag king and organiser Kaan K and gardener and facilitator Leo Hargreaves.

We will co-build the altar together – you are invited to bring your own houseplant or select one from our collection, or bring along a photograph, object, symbol or memory that represents someone or something you are grieving. All grief is welcome – whether this is grief of a death, grief for what could have been, grief for relationships lost… it is all welcome in the space. There will be activities that invite reflection, remembering and sharing – though there is absolutely no obligation to participate or share anything beyond what makes you feel comfortable.

All genders are welcome, and we ask cisgender people to be respectful, as this is a space organised around Transgender Day of Remembrance.

The event is free but ticketed – book below. Refreshments will be provided throughout.

About

Kaan K works with poetry, performance, publishing and drag king-ing. Their practice is rooted in community organising, building solidarity, dreaming and creating ideas in collaboration with other people. They are a creative facilitator, storyteller and campaigner. 

Leo Hargreaves is an organiser, facilitator and gardener. They lead a project that delivers training and workshops to empower people to connect with nature. They are an active member of the Trans Healthcare Coalition, advocating for accessible and affirming care for all trans people, and believe that the queerness of the natural world offers trans people a space of connection, acceptance and resilience.

A quiet, grounding space and mental health support will be available for anyone who attends.

Our building has lifts to the gallery, accessible and gender-neutral toilets, baby changing and breastfeeding facilities and two accessible parking bays. You can watch a walkthrough of our building and learn more about accessibility here.
