Celebrating the Grand River: Churning currents, lapping futures x Ribbon Zine

Saturday, August 9 | 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Free | No Registration Required

Join us for a participatory celebration of two local projects in conversation with the Willow River: Churning currents, lapping futures at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery and Ribbon Zine by Ellie Anglin.

This community event will centre exploration and appreciation of the Willow River (colonially known as the Grand River) through a tour of Churning currents, lapping futures by KWAG programming staff, readings by contributors to Ribbon Zine, and a collaborative creative writing workshop and discussion circle as we collectively reflect on our relationship to local watersheds and our more-than-human neighbours.

Pick up a free copy of Ribbon Zine at KWAG on 9 August.
