This workshop is Pay What You Can, we suggest £3-£8 as this will help us cover some costs.
Manifesto zine workshop with Linnea Maertens and SL Grange. Explore manifestos from historical movements and activist groups, write your own manifesto with poet and part-time hedge-witch SL Grange, then make it manifest in zine form guided by illustrator and zine expert Linnea.
We invite you to bring along an object which can act as an inspiration or personal focus for your manifesto/ing. Some thing that might visually accompany the manifesto in the zine making portion of the workshop (and maybe fit on an A4 scanner..); or something you can hold close as a physical manifestation of your personal, artistic , or political manifesto. Bring one or more things from home, pick a flower on your way - anything counts!
