LIVERPOOL we are back!!!
Queer Youth Art Collective In partnership with Young Homotopia
“Queer The News!”
Facilitated by Sophie Green and Leo Soph Welton
Sun 4th Dec, 12-4pm.
IN PERSON: Toxteth Library
ONLINE: via ZOOM.
Free to attend.
Workshop Description:
Join Liverpool based artists Sophie Green and Leo Welton in this fun creative workshop where you’ll queer the headlines. We’re all fed up of mainstream newspapers and magazines dog whistling, misrepresenting us or just being plain homophobic and transphobic so we’ll be creating our own!
We’ll design covers with mastheads and imagery using collage, illustration and typography highlighting the headlines and stories we want to shout about. Maybe it’s something personal, an issue you want to give some airtime or just a good dollop of queer joy, Sophie and Leo will be on hand to help you realise your ideas and give you the space to express yourself.
As part of the workshop you’ll also be able to chat to Sophie and Leo about their creative careers.
Free to attend.
ONLINE: 12-4pm on zoom!
Our online sessions take place on ZOOM. Every term we give out a number of bursaries so that our members can access art supplies in order to continue their own practices.
Before and after each workshop, the zoom is open for people who want to get support from our team on personal projects. Just drop in and say hello.
ACCESS: For any specific access requirements including Closed Captions or BSL, please get in touch with as much notice as possible and we will do our best to meet your needs.
