About This Event

This month’s BIPOC Jam will be less structured and more like an open jam. Det’ele will open up the group and leave space for any topics people want to discuss and then the rest of the time will be for talking with people, tying with people, tying alone or tying around people. Det’ele will go over some intro rope skills if anyone wants to go over that and will be there to answer any questions rope newbies have.

Just a reminder this rope jam is for people of the global South, People of Colour and Indigenous, Brown and Black people, we love our White allies but this space is not for you. We hope to see you there!

Bring a friend! 

Tickets are PWYC with a suggestion of $15.

Frequently Asked Questions:

I have no experience with rope, can I still come?

Yes! All levels are welcome and there’s always a quick intro for beginners.

Do I need to bring my own ropes?

Loaner ropes are available on-site, but if you have your own, please bring them.

I do not identify as a BIPOC person, can I still come?

This event is specifically geared towards Black, Indigenous and Persons of Color in our community, if you do not identify as one of those groups please refrain from joining. Studio Allegory hosts weekly jams that are open to all and you can check them out on our website.

I’m a BIPOC person, but my partner isn’t, can they still join?

Not at this time, this event is geared toward BIPOC folks exclusively. Studio Allegory hosts weekly jams that are open to all and you can check them out on the website.

I don’t have someone to tie with, can I still come?

Absolutely! Come solo or with a group. A jam is an inherently social event and a great place to make new rope friends!
