🌈 This Saturday 10 August we’ll be at Doncaster Pride! 🌈

Come say hi at our stall where you can also buy some of our T Shirts, Totes, Pins and Postcards. Meet some of our volunteers and the team of Andro and Eve and find out about our upcoming events.

We’re also with Right Up Our Street who have worked with our artistic director, Finn Warman and artist Lady Kitt and local LGBTQ+ people on a project about what Pride means to them.

You can come and experience Lady Kitt’s new installation ‘Visible Rest’ which offers a space for pause, rest, and contemplation, amongst the action, activism, performance and celebration of the day. This work has been inspired by reflections, ideas and stories from LGBTQ+ people in Doncaster, in workshops facilitated by Kitt.

The installation will be available to view and interact with at Doncaster Pride on 10 August, 11am - 5pm, We'd love to see you there!

Travel Info for Doncaster Pride can be found on their website.

What does Pride feel like for you?

As part of a new project with Right Up Our Street and Andro and Eve Artist Lady asked Doncaster based LGBTQIA+ people what Pride feels like to them 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

People said: Pride is a protest. Pride is a party. Pride is action. Pride is work. Pride is amazing, wonderful, galvanising, and exciting. It is also overwhelming, draining, complicated and tiring. At Pride being visible is half, if not more, of the work.

Lady Kitt has been working with LGBTQ+ people based in Doncaster to feed into an installation they are making to be displayed at Doncaster Pride on 10 August. So that this installation reflects what local people would like, artist Lady Kitt would like to know -

👉 What does Pride feel like for you?

👉 What spaces, colours, sounds, textures, and atmospheres do we need to create places of pause, rest and reflection within Pride?

👉 What activities do you find restful and restorative?

Share your thoughts by the 12 of July! https://forms.gle/BpwMoRQNK4AzCUHK8
