Community Table Talk with Emmie the…
April 12 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
We’re thrilled to welcome Emmie, The « … » : a creative structure built entirely from scrap materials found across the streets of London and Croydon; inviting us to collaborate and play, talk and share learning. Devised by Emma Hafner from the MA Architecture course at Central Saint Martins, this mini-residency is helping us explore the future of The Story Sanctuary as a cooperative enterprise.
Our second workshop in the series of three is called Table Talk – collaborative conversations about the importance and fragility of our community spaces and how to hold them well for the long term.
A slow and thoughtful session, low demand and neuro-affirming: free to attend, refreshments available. We have five fabulous speakers lined up: Emma Hafner, Michelle Ruiz – a Strategic Designer and Researcher, Rebecca Sainsot-Reynolds – an artist, educator and organiser, Claudia Golder-Coelho – Chair of Queer Croydon, and Jill Finch from A Collective who is also leading on The Story Sanctuary project.
We’ll be discussing how to build community spaces, how fragile they are, and how we can make them better!
In partnership with Queer Croydon and A Collective.
Open to everyone – age 16+! Free to attend!!
Refreshments provided.
Workshop series and residency sponsored by A Collective and Autistic Youth Hub.
Practical Details:
