Co-Hostings: Visual Organising Training
Migrants in Culture & Arts Catalyst
26 June | Time: 17:00 - 19:00 | Venue: City of Sanctuary Sheffield
ABOUT THE SHOW
Co-hostings will open to the public through a programme of workshops taking place at City of Sanctuary Sheffield, in collaboration with Migration Matters Festival. Together with artist Aliaskar Abarkas and the migrant-led design agency Migrants in Culture, we will explore ways of gathering, organising and connecting that do not uniquely rely on verbal expression.
Annoyed at having to speak English all the time? Words not doing it for you? Are you curious about drawing? Migrants In Culture will host a drawing workshop for migrant organisers and migrant culture workers. We’ll share with you some creative experiments to draw, feel and think beyond language (or at least beyond English).
You don’t need any previous experience of drawing or creative work. We’ll bring all the materials and exercises, just show up and enjoy a collective and imaginative process.
This workshop is open to all, and we encourage people with migrant backgrounds and/or whose mother tongue is not English to join.
