Making Feast

MAKING FEAST

Spending time together, sharing ideas and resources and building community are essential acts of resistance in these troubled times.

To make space for this and to celebrate the end of the Peopling the Palaces Festival Festival, we are hosting a potluck event called MAKING FEAST.

MAKING FEAST invites us gather in an open room to consider what we have got, what we have brought to the table, what we can share, what nourishment we might find in just being together and what kind of plans we might make for a future.

Part ritual, part impromptu performance, part long table conversation and a large part delicious potluck supper, MAKING FEAST will provide a few easy hours of being, thinking, talking and eating together. Come as you are and bring a favorite food to eat and some thoughts to share.

Sign up on Eventbrite or check the website closer to the event for a more detailed invitation.

MAKING FEAST is conceived by Lois Weaver and developed in collaboration with Future Ritual.

Thanks to All Nations Vegan House for some potluck contributions.

We are looking forward to welcoming you our MAKING FEAST afternoon on Sunday June 8, from 2-4pm in ArtsOne at Queen Mary. 

MAKING FEAST is potluck event where you come as you are and bring what you can to share. It is a two-hour gathering that will begin at 2pm with an acknowledgement to all for SHOWING UP. We will then spend some time making, MENDING, and catching up until we all come to the table for a delicious FEAST of food and conversation. For afters we will consider the things we want to TAKE AWAY or LEAVE BEHIND.

Potlucks are gatherings where each guest contributes a different, often homemade, dish of food to be shared. Some people believe that the word potluck comes from the North American indigenous communal meal known as a potlatch, which means ‘to give away’. 

Potlucks are great for feeding large groups of people and creating community. 

As a guest of a potluck, there is often a pressure to bring a dish that everyone goes mad for. We realise that we all have different amounts of time, money, and energy. However, we do have limitless imagination. So, we invite you to think outside the lunchbox and bring some food that might say something about you or simply bring something unexpected to share.

But most importantly come as you are and bring what you can! 

See you Sunday,

Lois, Joseph, and the Peopling the Palaces Team
