Join a creative workshop inspired by objects, artworks and archival material in the ‘Hard Graft’ exhibition. You will explore themes of desire, resistance and work through talking, writing and collage making.
Together we will craft a satirical handbook for work-related illnesses, whether that’s in the context of office work, sex work or domestic work.
The workshop will be led by facilitator and producer F. Zeeshan Choudhury who uses creativity to encourage self-knowledge and wellbeing. They are particularly interested in the folklore of queer and disabled communities.
Everyone is welcome and no experience is necessary. Materials will be provided and you can take home what you make.
