Are you a young person living in Westminster between 16 –18 looking for a creative way to explore your identity and heritage? Join our zine-making workshops! This project invites young people, to delve into the rich archive of Iniva and the Stuart Hall Library (SHL) — a treasure trove documenting the impactful legacies of Black and Asian artists who have shaped contemporary British art and culture.
In three interactive workshops, you’ll dive into work of artists often overlooked in classrooms. You’ll learn how to use archives and libraries as powerful tools to explore personal heritage, identity, and self-expression. By curating your own unique narrative, you’ll develop a deeper connection to these resources, now and in the future.
By the end of the project, you’ll collaborate with other participants to create pocket-sized zines that reflect your creative journey. These zines will not only document your experience but also serve as a guide on how to use libraries and archives creatively. The final zine will be shared with schools, art organizations, and groups across Westminster and published digitally on our website.
Don’t miss this chance to make your voice heard and be part of a creative community. Discover the power of archives, learn new skills, and share your story with the world!
