An Activism through Art Rally to protest the privatization of the LGBTQ space of the People’s Beach at Riis Park

The People's Beach at Jacob Riis Park

Agenda

As others trickle in, enjoy the beach while helping create the large sand sculpture. Swim, tan, relax, socialize, purchase and begin to customize your kite, and contribute whenever you’d like. Stay hydrated and take breaks—we want everyone to enjoy the day.

*** A purchase of a kite It is not required to attend the event. There is no charge to participate in the sculpting nor the drumming circle. 


Getting it Started

As we put the final touches on sculpture, we’ll gather for a brief kite assembly tutorial. See below for more detailed information regarding the DIY Kites. This will be the FINAL opportunity to purchase a kite for the afternoon.

*** We are not responsible for any loss or damage to your kite once it has been distributed. 


In  Between

Using our buckets as instruments, we’ll come together for a drumming circle led by Tony Rideout, (a 25 year veteran music teacher), to stir the energy we imbued in the sculpture while building it, awakening the spirit of the Phallus, and call attention to our cause. (No musical experience is necessary!) Follow us and we’ll make a joyful noise!

Drumming  Circle

We will lift our kites with messages of protest into the air to draw attention to the importance of historical queer safe spaces while raising awareness of the erasure that is happening to the LGBTQIA+ culture.

Let’s get it up!
