About this event

  • 2 hours

A free monthly creative workshop series for young LGBTQIA+ folks and their allies!

----

Discover Western Australia's rich queer history in this interactive workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the LGBTQIA+ narrative of the region through engaging activities and discussions.

One of the highlights of the workshop is the chance to create your own Zine—a mini magazine rooted in activism. This hands-on activity allows you to express your creativity while learning about the historical and contemporary struggles and triumphs of the queer community in Western Australia.

By crafting your own Zine, you'll be contributing to the ongoing documentation and celebration of queer culture in the region.Join us for this unique opportunity to learn, create, and connect with others who share an interest in queer history and activism. Whether you're passionate about LGBTQIA+ issues or simply curious about the vibrant history of Western Australia's queer community, this workshop promises to be both educational and inspiring.
