Why Collaboration Matters! A Zine Workshop!

We can forget how much everyday art is collaborative - books have writers, editors and illustrators; films and TV shows have writers, directors and camera crew. Audiences can also be a part of a collaborative process.

Unfinished Art Collective take unfinished or unloved art (from scrapbooks, notebooks etc), and edit, add, or use it as inspiration to give it a new lease of life and give the original piece some new perspective. Seeing how what you created made someone else create is a great way to see the good in your own work. In this workshop, we will work together to create stories and develop ideas in the form of collaborative zines, passing around empty zines and adding to them one page at a time, responding to each other's work as we go.

Facilitator Bio

Queer Youth Art Collective (QYAC) has run workshops at London’s The Outside Project for LGBTQ young people 18-26 since August 2019. The project delivers newly commissioned workshops by LGBTQ artists and youth forums for attendees to discuss their practice and socialise. These alternate weekly on Sundays.

Our primary aims are to challenge isolation, provide free and engaging arts workshops and build skills and infrastructure for a resilient, peer-led LGBTQ arts and education culture in London and throughout the UK.

We currently run 2 groups: ONLINE on ZOOM & OFFLINE From The Outside Project’s Community centre in CENTRAL LONDON.
