How do we go about communicating in a world defined by serious and pressing social challenges when words are not enough?

In this workshop, facilitated by artist and practitioner Joanna Mamede of the Face in the Hole art collective, participants will learn about the many ways that art has been used to bridge the gap when words won’t suffice. They will have a chance to learn some of the practical skills needed when using art to address serious social issues before having the opportunity to apply these skills to their own work on a topic of their choice.

This event is aimed at students, activists and early career researchers who are keen to expand the reach of their ideas by harnessing the medium of art to convey big ideas. No previous experience is required, only enthusiasm to engage with the possibilities.

All artistic materials and lunch will be provided free for workshop participants.

The final works will be displayed with the ‘Art for a Better World’ exhibition at the Foundry Social Justice and Human Rights Centre (17 Oval Way, London, SE11 5RR). Workshop participants will also have priority access to the exhibition’s public reception event on 14th November.

Register by 9th November at 22:00 to secure your spot, as spaces are limited.
