Stick and Poke Fruit Workshop
with Cúan Cusack

We make marks and scribe ourselves into our new forms, ever evolving and imprinting on one another.

Cúan Cusack will facilitate a mindful DIY fruit tattoo workshop. Stick and poke tattooing has been a long-standing practice at the fringes of queer life. Mark-making has often created space for reclaiming our fruity bodies. In this workshop LGBTQ+ people and friends will learn how to embed ink in the skin of fruits. Drawing on themes of joy and solidarity.

This workshop will encourage conversation about the queer joy and our futures. Fruit and materials will be provided. This is an over-18s workshop for all abilities and interests.
