SUMMARY:Go Fly a Kite
DESCRIPTION:Kite Flying 101 or How to launch a kite and kite-banner!\nWith Andrew Maize\nApril 25\n10am-11am – Wonder’neath Studio\n11am-1pm – Halifax Common \nJoin artist and kite-flier Andrew Maize for a hands-on workshop that will introduce the basics of successfully launching\, landing\, and flying large kites\, kite cameras and kite-laundry (ie. kite banners). We will discuss knot-tying\, launching/landing techniques\, environmental factors\, safety\, equipment\, and kite banner designs. The workshop will begin at Wonder’neath from 10am-11am\, and then will move to the Common\, where we will practice launching\, flying and landing big kites (and kite banners)! \nParticipants are encouraged to dress for the elements (hat\, sunscreen\, sunglasses) and bring a  pair of work gloves (thin leather gloves or similar are ideal – the kite string can burn hands when under a lot of tension!) \nParticipants are also invited to help fly kite banners at future sessions of RAISING BIG QUESTIONS for Mayworks 2026. \nAdmission by donation. Please RSVP here:\n \n\n \nANDREW MAIZE is an artist. His playful\, collaborative and improvisational approach to making art is contingent on the relationships of environmental\, social\, and material situations. Recent collaborative explorations include mobile instruments for improvised performances\, wind-powered kinetic sculptures\, and experimental drawing practices (using local sourced inks and candle smoke). He seeks collaborations across disciplines to expand improvisational practices as tools for embodying more responsive and adaptable ways of being\, by welcoming the fundamental agency of uncertainty. As an arts educator and organizer\, he has been involved in collaborative projects that engage communities with art\, in both traditional and non-traditional spaces. Maize graduated with a BFA from NSCAD University in Halifax NS in 2012\, and a MFA from the University of Guelph in 2021. He is the recipient of multiple grants and awards\, including SSHRCC\, Canada Council for the Arts\, Arts Nova Scotia. \n\nEvent photo by Corey Isenor

SUMMARY:Nakba Day Banner Making
DESCRIPTION:So-so-so-Solidarity!\nLearn to make fabric banners perfect for balconies and windows using applique\, patchwork quilting and basic painting techniques. It’s Nakba Day and a good occasion to show solidarity for Palestinians\, but participants are welcome to make their banner about any topic of their choice. Sarah and Hannah will facilitate\, talk about their approach to their banner-making and teach techniques to those who are interested. Materials are provided. \nArtists\nSarah Mosher and Hannah Genosko are an artist duo collaborating in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. Hannah has a background in printmaking and bookmaking\, Sarah has a background in textiles and community arts. Both are graduates of NSCAD University. Their common ground is exploring labour\, anti-capitalism and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through quilting. Portrait of the Artist as an Essential Worker was their first project reflecting on their roles as essential workers at their jobs with Canada Post and NSLC respectively during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nNakba Day\nNakba Day commemorates the great catastrophe – the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland in 1948. Participants are invited to create banners for their homes and neighbourhoods in celebration of Palestinian solidarity but are free to also choose any message of solidarity they want to display.
