Radical Queer Press Workshop
About
A physical media workshop where we’ll use collage to explore layout design and visual communication.Optional: Participants can think of something they’d like to write about / communicate before hand and bring relevant images and materials to use in their designs.
As Queer people we have a collective disillusionment and distrust of the press. With headlines often skewed against us and articles that spread misinformation we need to take back power when it comes to how we receive information.
In this workshop where we’ll explore alternative forms of communication that focus on positivity and community. We’ll look at how to better present, communicate and distribute information in small but powerful ways.
Led by Graphic Designer and Artist Jack Taylor who works with groups such as Queer by Gum, Good Things Collective, and The Morecambe Community Riso Press to explore how graphic design and visual communication can be used less as a commercial tool and more as a community focused practice.
