MSH Community Fair // 21st July

This is an opportunity to gather as people trying to make progressive change happen in the arts, in our communities, and beyond! In an age of political disappointment, how can we resist the capitalist stranglehold on our work? Join us to renew our faith in collectivity and hope.

With stalls from organisations and collectives working across dance, artmaking, wellness, and activism. Stop by and learn about the work of these amazing groups, take part in drop-in workshops, buy zines & artworks, and meet other people who give a sh*t about social change!

Throughout the day we will host a series of conversations between artists thinking about anti-oppressive practices, new modes of leadership, and the place of activism in the arts. With Dance Art Journal, Valerie Ebuwa and more. Full lineup and timings to be announced soon.

1pm – ‘Shifting Power’ with Valerie Ebuwa and Reece McMahon
