Queer + Disabled Zine Making Workshop:
For Disability History Month Ali Harri is hosting a zine making workshop and space for queer + disabled students to connect, vent and share their experiences of these two identities. Being queer and disabled is a lot of hard work. Supposedly accessible spaces are not always designed with us in mind, and the focus on alcohol-centric clubs and bars can leave a lot of disabled queers left out. This workshop will be a relaxed space for queer disabled folk to get creative and socialise with one another. Art supplies, such as pens, paper and paint will be provided, as well as snacks and refreshments. If you have your own supplies that you don’t mind sharing with the group, or old magazines that we can cut up, then please bring those along.
Wednesday 5th December, 3:30-5pm, room 1.5
If you have any access requirements, please let us know but filling out this form.
On Monday the 10th, in the Foyer of the Student's Union will be a showcase of disabled students and staff of the university. You will also be able to make your own badge to support the disabled campaign!
Monday 10th December, all day, in the Foyer
