Mapping Our Roots: An interactive workshop with Touch Grass
Reflect on your journey and create maps of belonging through nature and art, culminating in a collective sanctuary celebrating queer resilience and connection.
'Mapping Our Roots' is a creative workshop exploring the intersections of queer migration, resilience, and the natural world. We will reflect on our migration journeys—geographical, emotional, and identity-based—through personal storytelling and art-making. Using natural materials, we’ll create individual maps that express our stories and a collaborative sanctuary installation symbolising collective belonging. Inspired by the adaptability and sanctuary found in nature, this workshop offers a space for reflection, creativity, and community building. No artistic experience is necessary—just a willingness to explore your story and connect with others.
When? Sunday 27th July, 2 pm- 5 pm
Where? Orangery and South Parlour, Queens House

About Touch Grass:
Touch Grass is a community-led initiative centring queer people of colour in nature spaces. Founded by Toni Murphy, a qualified outdoor leader and nature connection facilitator, Touch Grass creates accessible opportunities for exploration, healing, and belonging in the outdoors. Through hikes, retreats, workshops, and community projects, Touch Grass fosters spaces where queer POC can reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world. With a strong belief in the outdoors as a site of liberation and sanctuary, Touch Grass celebrates joy, resilience, and collective care outside traditional structures.
This workshop is a part of the Queer Migrations Festival 2025, produced & curated by Bold Mellon Collective.
‘Queer Migrations is a community arts festival foregrounding the complex intersections of queerness and migration — how bodies, identities, and stories move across borders, seas, and generations.’
This event is generously supported by the Royal Museums Greenwich.
Age restriction: 18+
