Come and Craft & Chill with us as we celebrate five years of Sociètè Noir: a space for BPOC women and non-binary people.
Join us for a relaxed afternoon of creativity, conversation and good company.
Whether you enjoy painting, knitting, crocheting or just fancy trying something new, come along and get creative with us!
Bring your own craft projects (including anything unfinished!) or simply come to hang out, meet people and celebrate five years of SN.
No pressure, no experience needed. Just a chilled Sunday afternoon together.
The Love Tank CIC will be in attendance to provide STI kits and resources.
About the facilitator
Sociètè Noir is a transformative community created by Black women, specifically designed to empower and support all queer women of colour (including trans women) and non-binary people of colour as we recognise the complex, intersectional experiences of those marginalised by race, gender, and sexuality.
We centre joy, liberation, and playful self-expression in everything we do.
The Mission Our core is firmly rooted in:
Healing intergenerational trauma
Challenging systemic oppression
Celebrating sexual liberation
Uplifting diverse queer representation
Sociètè Noir isn’t just a community – it’s a movement of healing, pride, and collective liberation.
