Overview

Calling the Queer, Black and Brown communities ( +allies) for a community joy potluck!

Community joy potlucks bring communities together in a world that often seeks to divide and isolates us.

Sharing food and joy practices become an act of resistance and collective rest.



what to bring:

  • a dish that brings you joy
  • BYOB



Optional:

  • a joy practice to share with us: this could be a poem, a song, an object, an act of resistance that brought you joy, anything that can inspire joy as a form of resistance.
  • £5 suggested donation towards the café costs, cleaning fee, materials to host the dinner. Both cash and card options available on entry.
  • Smaller amounts & no donation also welcome, you will not be turned away.
  • bring tupperwear if you'd like leftovers!
  • suggestions for the next community joy potluck
