From puppet dressing to screen printing and collaborating with Queer Verse to facilitate writing workshops &#8211; participants will offer their hands and words to the Phoenix using salvaged scrap fabric and mixed media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Phoenix will then be processed through the streets of Galway for the parade, alongside our Pride drumming troupe. Building on last year&#8217;s project we will facilitate 6 weeks of drumming workshops using the drums we constructed last year. The drumming workshops would run from June into July ahead of the Pride Parade on August 8th and would be held in an open hall venue in Galway City. The Craft Meitheal would be on during Pride Week in workshop spaces across Galway City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":41680,"template":"","class_list":["post-41679","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Project Phoenix: An Immersive Pride Parade - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As part of the Galway Pride Week, we will call upon the LGBTQIA+ communities of Galway City and County to join us in building our creative community block for the Pride Parade.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/project-phoenix-an-immersive-pride-parade\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Project Phoenix: An Immersive Pride Parade - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As part of the Galway Pride Week, we will call upon the LGBTQIA+ communities of Galway City and County to join us in building our creative community block for the Pride Parade.
