About this Event
The Freedom from Torture North London Supporters Group & Artizine are delighted to invite you to an evening of zine-making, as part of the City Entwined exhibition at Paradise Row art gallery.
A zine is a small magazine or self-published piece of work produced by an individual on a subject they are interested in, and can include a variety of inputs such as images, drawings, collage and poems.
In this workshop we will be providing a variety of stimulus from Freedom from Torture to inspire you to create a zine that sends a message of support and solidarity to refugees arriving in the UK, and for the work of Freedom from Torture. By the end of the workshop, you have the option to feature your creation in a temporary art installation at the Paradise Row City Entwined Exhibition that sends a message of welcome and solidarity to refugees worldwide from London. There will be wine and music, so come along for an evening of creativity and a natter.
There are two slots you can join for this workshop, each lasting approximately one and a half hours. Please select which slot you would like to join in the checkout. Tickets are limited, so grab yours as soon as you can to ensure you don’t miss out!
We have a selection of recommended donations at the checkout. All profits will be going to the charity Freedom from Torture, to help further their amazing work in promoting refugee rights and providing torture survivors arriving in the UK the psychological and medical support they require.
We look forward to seeing you there!
