Craftivism Workshop - Community Mosaic Quilt

04/17/2026, 5:00 PM

Location: Centre for Newcomers, 565 36 St NE #125, Calgary, AB T2A 6K3, Canada




Join us on April 17th for a free creative community workshop, held in collaboration with the Centre for Newcomers and SewProudYYC!
 



 

Community building event focused on protesting through care, love, and art: weaving together climate justice, queer justice, and queer joy!


In this workshop, we invite you to creatively explore your experiences at the intersection of queer justice and climate justice. This workshop supports in educating, empowering, and connecting participants to take collective actions to address barriers and enhance equity. Through the creation of a collective group art-piece (i.e., community mosaic quilt) patched together with individuals' unique experiences, we hope to increase awareness and recognition of the disproportionate impacts of the climate crisis on 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and those experiencing intersecting injustices.
 



 
 The evening will start with short presentations about the work of Center for Newcomers, SewProudYYC, and the Calgary Climate Hub. Then we will move into the art-making portion of the evening:

  • Celebrating uniqueness: Each participant will start with a piece of fabric that they will then decorate by visiting various crafting stations. Through the incorporation of climate justice policy and mutual aid discussions at each station, participants’ art-pieces will be a living document of the conversations from the evening, as well as their unique experiences connected to climate justice and queer justice.

  • Uniting together as a community: We will then sew together everyone’s art-piece to create a community mosaic quilt!

No specific crafting experiences are needed – all are welcome. This event is free, with refreshments provided.


When: Friday, April 17, 5-8:30PM
Where: Centre for Newcomers, 565 36 St NE #125 Rooms: 101 & 102
RSVP: here

Transit tickets available as needed. Please contact admin@calgaryclimatehub.ca for more information.
