About this Event
The Collective on Anti-Racism (COAR) is delighted to be taking over this incredible concept and host BIPOC Creatives Hangouts: https://www.facebook.com/share/TaBtWkGubH7KqCDp/
Originally developed and hosted by the everything.i.am.not project (@everything.i.am_not), this event series invites BIPOC creatives of any discipline and skill to come together for conversations about absolutely anything and everything. This recurring event aims to foster a space for BIPOC creatives to find community with each other in what is a predominantly white space in Canberra.
We also welcome attendees to bring along anything creative that they would like to work on during the event – whether that be some yarn, paints, pencils, or a laptop.
What: A chill hangout space for BIPOC creatives.
Who: This event is open to anyone who identifies as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Colour).
What to bring: Anything that allows for you to express your creativity, whether that be colouring pens, paper, notebook, paints, yarn, or a laptop.
Where: The Food Co-op Shop and Cafe. This venue is located at 3 Kingsley St, Canberra ACT 2601. It is fully wheelchair accessible with ramps leading to both entrances. It is an approximately 10 minute walk from the Alinga Street light rail stop.
