Archiving Activism: Black Lives Matter

Explore photography and archiving as a tool for social change with a new series of workshops focusing on the Black Lives Matter movement.

How will it work?

• Take part in a series of creative workshops including photography with Macy Stewart, whose work has been featured in Vogue and LadyGunn magazine.
• Develop skills in exhibition and curatorial design with National Museums NI curator Anna Liesching and learn how to present and showcase your work for display.
• Discover how the arts are an important channel to enact change and how global movements can have a local impact.

Sessions will be delivered online via Zoom and Slack - all with the support of the Making the Future team.

The workshops will take place from May 4 - 25, with sessions on each Tuesday and Thursday.

This programme is FREE and open to anyone aged 16+ based in Northern Ireland or the border counties.
