Join us for a half-day materials-preparation workshop for the art fair for ESEA Fundraising for Migrants' Rights!
What we do?
We’ll be hosting workshops where you can make zines, badges, stickers, and twist sticks, as you choose! We’ll provide all the materials, and all workshops are free. Of course, you are more than welcome to bring your own materials to make with us! It will be a great experience as you can make art while contribute to the fundraising event! Moreover, you can chat and make friends with other ESEA participants during the workshop.
No worries if you have no prior art-making experience! Our experienced facilitators will guide you design and make your own art! You will be surprised by your own imaginations and creativities!
What for?
All the hand-made art pieces made during the workshop will be donated to the art fair and hopefully will all be sold on that day! We are hosting this art fair on September 21st at SET Social in Peckham. This charity event supports immigrants, especially those in detention centres. All the fund raised during the event will be donated to SDS (SOAS Detainee Support).
Founded in 2006, SDS is a student group base in SOAS University of London, it attempts to break the isolation of immigration detention, and supports people to take control of their cases and resist their imprisonment and deportation.

Who can participate?
This workshop is open to women and non-binary people who identify as ESEA (East and Southeast Asian). Since we have very limited space, we are not able to accommodate allies. However, allies are more than welcome to attend the fundraising event on 21st September! Please spread the word for us!
Cancellation:
