Queer Spaces & Anti-Capitalist Resistance: Long Table with Lois Weaver

Across the UK, communities have been resisting government structures that enforce oppressive models of operation, specifically in migrant, people of colour, queer, trans and working-class spaces. At the same time, much of our communities’ identities are built around capitalist understandings of community spaces, which tap into historical and contemporary traumas.

Queer performance icon Lois Weaver (Split Britches) invites you to take a seat at the Long Table to tackle these issues, together with audience members, artists, curators, students and local residents.

The Long Table is a dinner party where conversation is the only course. The components are simple: a long table, chairs, a paper tablecloth, pens with which to draw, make comments or scribble ideas, and an etiquette sheet - rules that lay the groundwork for a discussion that is structured without being limited.
