Visual Organising Training
Arts Catalyst & Migrants in Culture
26 June | Time: 17:00 - 19:00 | Venue: City of Sanctuary Sheffield
ABOUT THE SHOW
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.
This event is part of Co-Hostings, a project by Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad developed with over 40 refugees and asylum seekers at City of Sanctuary Sheffield. Centred on issues around belonging, safety and rootedness in Sheffield, and the role that English language and its translations hold. Find out more about Co-Hostings via Arts Catalyst’s website.
