About this Event
Do you have a story inside you: ideas, thoughts, and feelings swirling around - but struggle to find the right way to express it to the world? You’re not alone. Telling your story can feel overwhelming, but it’s also powerful.
Join filmmaker and TRANSMEDIUM co-founder Claud Bailey for a workshop designed to help queer teens turn inward, make sense of their experiences, and transform them into art. Through guided storytelling exercises, creative brainstorming, and hands-on activities like collaging and time-capsule building, we’ll explore ways to shape your story, and share it with confidence.
Your story matters. Let’s tell it together.
Ages 14 - 18
