Make Something Together
I design workshops where people make together, from collective murals of the futures we imagine to zines for social action.
We use print, paper and collage as a way into big questions: why are things the way they are, and what could they become?
Workshop formats
These are starting points. Every session can be adapted to your group, venue and goals.
Imagine a just future: collective mural
Together we imagine, then we make.
Groups draw, cut and paste pieces of a shared picture of the future they’d like to see, then assemble them into one collective mural.
Good for: museums, festivals, schools, youth programmes, community and campaign groups
Length: [e.g. 2-3 hours]
Group size: [e.g. 10-30]
You leave with: a collective artwork to display, and a shared vision of the futures people want
Zines for social good
Small, folded, shareable.
We look at how zines have carried ideas through social movements, then make our own about something we care about. Participants learn how to fold, lay out and reproduce a zine they can keep making.
Good for: youth groups, non-profits, campaigners, classrooms, collectives
Length: 2-4 hours
Group size: 25
You leave with: a finished zine and the skills to make more
Planting new futures: collage workshop
Cut, arrange and reimagine.
A hands-on collage session that needs no drawing skills. Participants cut and rearrange images to picture the futures they want to grow. Developed for Ethical Assembly in Lisbon.
Good for: conferences, festivals, workshops within events, mixed groups of all ages
Length: 1.5-3 hours
Group size: Up to 40
You leave with: an original collage and a conversation starter
Something bespoke
Have a theme, campaign or audience in mind? I can design a workshop around it.
Imagine a Just Future with Climaximo at Fábrica Braço de Prata in Lisbon, and at Generation Hope at the Natural History Museum, London.
Who these workshops are for:
Museums and galleries · Festivals and conferences · Youth programmes and schools · Non-profits and campaigning groups · Community collectives
My background is ten years in the social good sector, most recently leading a non-profit on youth climate anxiety and action. I’m comfortable with big, heavy topics, and with making space for people of all ages to explore them.
Where I’ve worked
How it works
Get in touch. Tell me about your group, goals and timeframe.
We talk it through. A short call to shape the idea together.
I send a proposal. Format, schedule, materials and cost.
We make. I bring the materials and the know-how. [You provide a space with tables and anything else I’ll need.]
Let’s plan something
Tell me a bit about what you have in mind (whether fully developed or the seed of an idea) and I’ll reply in 3 working days.
