heART and home: Zine-Making Workshop
A Creative Project for LGBTQ+ People to Explore Home, Identity, and Belonging
heART and home is a series of three creative workshops designed for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore themes of home, identity, and belonging through art and storytelling. Whether you’ve faced housing insecurity, experienced homelessness, or simply want to reflect on these themes, this is a welcoming space to share your voice and connect with others.
This is the first of three workshops, focusing on zine-making. The upcoming workshops—Spoken Word and Movement Poetry—will be bookable soon!
Zine-Making Workshop
📅 March 25th | 6:30 – 8:30 PM
Join us for a hands-on, creative zine-making session led by Mia Maxwell from FEM Zine London. Zines are DIY booklets that allow you to express your thoughts in a personal and artistic way. In this relaxed workshop, you'll explore what home, belonging, and community mean to you through collage, writing, and illustration.
🌈 FREE & open to all LGBTQ+ individuals aged 18+
🎨 All materials provided—just bring yourself!
✏️ No experience needed—everyone is welcome!
🎭 Take part in one workshop or all three—it’s up to you!
🎤 Participants are invited (but not required) to share their work at our final Showcase on June 18th
Stonewall Housing Support
Throughout all workshops, Stonewall Housing staff will be present to offer guidance and information about the charity’s services. They will also provide signposting to additional resources for anyone who may need housing-related advice or who wants to get involved in volunteering for or supporting the charity.
