Join artist F. Zeeshan Choudhury to explore the way monster mythologies have reflected anxieties about queerness and disability. We will read/listen to  monster stories, and discuss what we can reclaim from them. We will then create a shrine to our chosen monster, which can include making talismans, short written pieces and collage. This workshop is aimed at people who self-identify as queer and disabled/mad/deaf/neurodivergent/chronically ill -- no diagnosis required! 

Sign up to reserve your spot and to request any access support you will need. If you choose, your work can contribute to a public art exhibition as part of the “Forming New Folklores” series, read below: 

This creative session is part of the Forming New Folklores project by @fzeeshanchoudhury, which aims to collect stories and practices from queer and disabled/mad/deaf/neurodivergent/chronically ill communities across the UK and Bangladesh.
