Approximately six weeks prior to this workshop, the team met up at a West End cafe. The workshop concept had been dreamed up by lovely Annie from Branch and Sea. We chatted and decided to throw the concept out there, see how much money we could raise (we hoped for $2,000), and we would donate all proceeds to Palestine Australia Relief and Action and Pay the Rent. The interest blew us away and the total came to a generous $2,570 (the receipts are included at the end of this post). Please enjoy the following images representing the fun and community spirit that was had at the workshop. Also, the talent in the room was something else! Free Palestine. No one is free until we are all free. <3

Meanjin Protest for Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran ... Any Country Impacted by Genocide

November 10th, 2024: Meanjin showed up to show the world that we care about genocide. No one is free until we are all free.

There is not much that can be said that is even slightly positive within the context of genocide. One thing, though, that is true: when you live through a live-streamed genocide and only a few speak up/resist in their own way (not everyone needs to go to protests, etc; there are many ways to resist), it's easy to see who the humans are who are truly beautiful on the inside and out.

More power to the people.

Fundraiser for Palestine :: Floral Wreath Workshop to Come

Happy Monday!

This is an exciting post for us.

We recently spotted a stunning arrangement in honour of Palestine created by Annie from Branch & Sea. It took my (Em’s) breath away. I let botanical designer Annie know and we chatted a little. Annie shared a beautiful concept floating in her mind for a fundraiser. We jumped on board. It turned out that Annie had more friends in the botanical designing space who shared a mutual and deep respect for First Nations peoples worldwide: Emily from Scissor & Spade and Whitney from Snakes & Lovers. We met up and Annie, Emily, & Whitney worked their magic. The concepts for the workshop were born and we are thrilled to announce that it will be held on the 1st of December 2024. Jaz, from Charcuterie & Co., will be providing the delicious sweets. All details are here on Annie’s page:


We hope to see you there! <3

Please note that the artwork shown below with the eagle was created by Charlotte Allingham (she/her/they/them), an Artist whose work belongs to the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. Always was. Always will be. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Lovely Annie from Branch & Sea - the driving force behind the fundraiser.

Lovely Emily from Scissor & Spade.

Lovely Whitney from Snakes & Lovers.

I found some Palestinian red in Annie’s beautiful garden.

A moment for all the animals impacted by genocide.

I would usually clean up mess on clothing; however, this was watermelon juice and so it is staying. :)
