Suggestions BoxSometimes we come up with ideas and we hear ideas and suggestions from

community members. A lot of these times because of time and work

pressure these are lost in space. In order to best utilise these idea we

have a suggestion box in reception for all to use. Its under the clock and

also serves as the donations box.

Donations are not always monetary (although they are always welcome)

Donations are ideas which can be tangible and which we can work on for the

community. SO.if you think you have a good idea which we can use

here then please feel free to put it in writing and pop it into the box in

reception and we can have a look at it and if its realistic work on it.

Remember its your box so please use it

Sex Lies and True Love in Modern Scotland.

We have got a donation of Series 1 from a community member. Perhaps if a

group wants to come in to watch this controversial drama series then let me

know in LINC and we can have a film night for people. At the moment

Monday night is a good bet so if youre interested then get on the phone and

well see if we can organise something.

Every Thursday 8pm in LINC

In celebration of and conjunction with Cork Pride 2011, Cork Feminista is

hosting an art exhibition titled 'Queer As Political'. Feminist and queertheories and politics have always overlapped, intermingled and struggled

with each other. We want to take this opportunity to reflect on Pride'sinspirational history as a political and cultural struggle and the ongoing

fight for access to rights, resources and equality that feminists and LGBTcommunities share.


4/5

We're calling for submissions from artists interested in exploring the politicsof queer identities. Identifying as 'queer' is a transgressive act that

challenges the dominant structures and stereotypes. We're looking for workthat explores ways that queer identities are inherently and overtly political.The exhibition will take place as a part of Cork Pride 2011 (29th May 6th

June) at The Other Place, North Main Street, Cork. Expressions of interestwith details of the work, including format and/or dimensions, can be emailedto: [email protected] by 6th May 2011. Deadline for completed work

27th May 2011.
