10:00—12:00, Thursday, 25 SeptemberDuration: 120 minutesAudience: Suitable for ages 16+Booking: Free / TicketedLocation: Rua Red Green Room (Dis)Comfort is a participatory workshop with artist Tara Carroll, exploring the embodiment of discomfort and the ways we combatively seek comfort individually and collectively. How do you distinguish the feelings? Why do we need discomfort to go beyond our comfort zones to enact change? How do we create comfort for other people? We will engage with these themes through creative exercises using the body, text and spoken word.The artist asks for each person to bring one object that represents or gives their body/mind comfort and one object that represents or gives their body/mind discomfort. As a disabled, trans and queer artist, Tara will discuss themes through the lens of disability/illness, gender and queerness. The workshop openly invites anyone to join.Carroll’s art practice advocates for inclusivity and accessibility for all in the arts and society. They want to ensure the inclusion of our disabled and high-risk friends by making this a masked event to ensure the safety of everyone in the space. This is to practice harm reduction and community care during a time when capitalism and individualism often take precedence. They ask everyone who can mask to do so. High-quality FFP2 masks will be provided on entry, and a HEPA filter will be present in the space.It will be a relaxed environment with breaks and snacks provided. The exercises are adaptable to suit individual capacity.
