FUSE Block Party

Are you ready for this? FUSE Spring 2022 is ending with a bang: the FUSE Block Party on 17 November at Newman Reserve, Preston. Join us for a FREE community bash, curated by Lucreccia Quintanilla, with live bass music, bric-a-brac stalls, body adornment and a boogie in the dark. This signature closing event for FUSE is an inclusive, participatory and multi-arts celebration of identity, self-expression, and intersectionality. The showcase features a vintage flea market at Retropolis, paper costume making workshop for kids with Dell Stewart, a celebratory Pasifika floral head-dress workshop with Veisinia Tonga, chalk mural making with artist Tom Civil, live musical performances by Decibel artists, family friendly No Lights No Lycra dance and the "Every Dream Home" art installation by Nat Thomas and music by DJ Naycab. The afternoon of music, play and art-making culminates in a dress-up parade lead by UKI, a moving interactive kinetic structure which houses the sound system, and the curator-in-residence, Lucrecia Quintanilla, (aka DJ General Feelings) on the decks. Then there's the grand finale: our special FUSE Dress-up Parade. Come to the party wearing a costume that expresses yourself or design one at our free on-site workshop. Get your bass on at FUSE.
