About
Join Queerdirect's workshop in re-imagining the future of queer activism, institutional space and grass roots LGBTQ+ spaces.
The workshop will examine collaborative making through the production of an activism banner and group discussion centred around themes in Arnolfini’s Still I Rise exhibition. All materials will be provided.
Led by Gaby Sahhar and Lily Cheetah, Queerdirect grew out of the need for queer artists to have access to long-term support and a network to promote their work.
Queerdirect hold regular events and curate exhibitions around London and provide queer artists with a platform and support. Queerdirect is the UK's first contemporary arts platform and project space dedicated to queer arts and artists.
Still I Rise: Feminisms, Gender, Resistance - Act 3 is a large-scale exhibition of international artists, highlighting the experiences of women and celebrating their triumphs - with an expanded programme of performances, screenings, workshops and talks filling Arnolfini through Autumn 2019.
Tickets are free but booking is essential.
