Kidz Space: For big kids as well!!
"Children whose clarified senses betray them into a brilliant sorcery of beautiful pleasure reflect
something feral and smutty in the nature of reality itself: natural ontological anarchists, angels of
chaos- their gestures and body odors broadcast around them a jungle of presence, a forest of prescience
complete with snakes, ninja weapons, turtles, futuristic shamanism, incredible mess, piss, ghosts,
sunlight, jerking off, bird's nests and eggs- gleeful aggression against the groan-ups of those lower
planes."
Hakim Bey, The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism.
Children and young people are a vital part of our queer alternative community. At Queeruption 7
we want to recognize this and breakdown the barriers between children and adults. Younger people
have so much to say, teach and learn as they live in a reality that is fiercely perceptive and
imaginative. They deserve to be listened to and engaged with about the kinds of issues we are raising.
There is a children's space set up where you will find books, paints, toys, paper, pencils,
craft stuff, face paints and sleeping area. Anyone is welcome to use this space to take children
or to just have a play for yourself.
We will be running sessions for children and young people every afternoon from 2pm to 6pm. This
is a time for children and parents to have a break from each other. Check the information board
to see the kids activity plan.
If you are leaving a child in the children's space will ask that u give us some basic information
such as what the child likes to be called, any allergies or medical issues and how to get in touch
with you if need be.
There are no structured times for child sessions in the evenings. But we are more than happy to look
after children up until 11pm (?). so if you would like child care in the evening call 0407582200 or
speak to Karen, Kat or Amy.
Anyone interested in helping out with child care stuff should contact Karen 0407582200 or put your
name down on the roster located on the information board
