Cark It Café: Creativity Meets Death Chats for LGBTIQ+

⬆️ Queer, creative & death-positive — let’s plan our endings with flair, not fear

This unique and inclusive series invites the LGBTIQ+ community, their families, friends, and allies to creatively explore end-of-life conversations through art, humour, and heartfelt dialogue.

Across 3 immersive event days and one vibrant finale, you’ll experience:

  • 6 Memento Mori Workshops – including poetry, songwriting, dance, visual art & weaving
  • 3 Cark It Café sessions – with guest speakers in palliative care, legal planning, funeral practices and more
  • 1 Final Showcase – a joyful celebration of creativity, community, and mortality

Jewelz the Hoola Doola will be your guide on this journey as we explore our end-of-life plans and options together – with heart, humour, and a touch of the unexpected.

This project aims to reduce fear, build compassionate communities and inspire meaningful end-of-life planning through connection and creativity.

For accessibility, there is a clear path of travel throughout the venue with an accessible toilet.
