An all-day, hang-out space for the queer community to come together with materials to make their messages visible. Join QUEERCIRCLE’s collective of curators, makers and artists for printmaking, opinionated placard waving and critical creative conversation.
Nurture Queer Natures
Nature printing (making ink impressions from flora, fauna or your very own hands) is the earliest form of printing, pre-dating the printing press by thousands of years. In this workshop with Brooke Palmieri (CAMP BOOKS), you'll get your hands dirty, printing with local plant life in London and meditating on queer ecologies we’re embedded within in day-to-day life.
Placard Not Placate
At a time when queer rights are under attack, it's time to fight back! Make your mark with artist Anka Dabrowska in this stencilling placard workshop using found urban materials.
This event is part of Queer and Now, a festival dedicated to the powerful role of LGBTQIA+ art and culture in the UK.
