Recharge – Postponed – new date TBC

This event has been postponed – please keep an eye on our website and social media for information on a rescheduled date.    

Museum of Homelessness,  Ubuntu Women’s Shelter and Glasgow Women’s Library are teaming up to host a day of creative activities, good food and togetherness. This event is for anyone who could do with some breathing space from the fight against the hostile environment, austerity, housing injustice or other things! Join us for a space of solidarity and a chance to breathe out.

Recharge, Saturday 25th June, 11am to 3.30pm, Free, GWL

Recharge is not an event about organising or exchanging tactics. It won’t include presentations or talks. Instead, we will have informal activities, workshops and other things to do which are intended to be nourishing and healing.

Aderonke Apata, Trustee of Museum of Homelessness will kick off our event and introduce the day. Aderonke is a Human Rights Activist, legal professional and the founder of African Rainbow Family. Aderonke’s incredible victory after a 13-year battle is the stuff of legend. She will share tips around creativity, resistance and joy in the face of adversity.

Throughout the day there will be creative activities, a lovely picnic lunch provided by Akara bakery and relaxation. The event will be facilitated by Museum of Homelessness crew members Benji Lain, Jess Turtle and Matt Turtle.

As a key part of the event MoH collaborator Jacob V. Joyce will share their spaceship. The spaceship is a huge mobile fabric mural which is activated through games, grounding rituals and the embodied gestures of systemically marginalised activists. The spaceship was created by many voices and invites people to consider the ways we can resist alienation together and create new ways of moving forward together: cruising beyond the isolating grip of oppressive state violence.

This is one of our “take part” events this Summer!
