Creative encounters: Queer archives and zine making

Why join us?

This event offers participants the opportunity to explore a specially curated selection of archival materials relating to queer histories. Attendees will be introduced to archival research methods, including how to navigate catalogues, search for relevant records and uncover LGBTQIA+ experiences beyond the perspective of the state.

Participants will then take part in a zine-making workshop. Through collage, writing and illustration, they will be encouraged to respond creatively to the records they encounter, bringing their own perspectives and lived experiences into conversation with the archive.

By adopting zine-making as a creative research practice, participants will be invited to explore new ways of engaging with history, creating a unique piece that reflects their experiences of the records and the histories they encounter.
