Description

"HUES Picnic: an evening of poetry and verse" is the final event of PRONK! Season 2021! The.Park.Studios is back at it again with a little bit of a remix on a crowd favorite. That's right, it’s The.Park in the park. We're collaborating with @hausofglitterdanceco again to celebrate black and indigenous people on reclaimed land (Esek Hopkins Park), as a headline event for @pronkfest 2021 on October 16th, 2021 from 4-9PM. The homies at @VibePVD will be curating and featuring live Art performed by some dope artists, and amazing local vendors. Oh, and you know we had to have food and drinks for y'all catered by @as220food, so you know it's gonna be a vibe. We’ve got 6 poets / musicians who will knock your socks off. Come dressed in your flyest gear and show off your black and brown excellence. Don't forget to bring your blanket, your mask, and a few of your homies. This is guaranteed to be a night you’ll remember, so trust us, you don't want to miss this. So long story short: Swing by The Haus of Glitter and check out some of RI’s top poets and lyricists pour their hearts out. Hosted by @jrsk.saulo and @song.13ird, with sounds provided by @djirvstyle. ALL funds raised at this PRONK! event will go towards our Historic Intervention in the former home of Esek Hopkins, commander of the slaveship "Sally" -- visit www.hausofglitter.org/support to sign our petition to reinterpret + transform the THREE memorials in Esek Hopkins' name: the house + park, the public middle school, and the statue on Branch Ave.
