Join us for an inspiring zine-making workshop, open to all, serving as a platform for Ukrainian migrants to tell unique stories through the art of photography and zine making. The workshops are a safe space to share ideas and experience where we’ll explore the multifaceted concept of ‘home’—what it means to us and the possibilities it holds. Bring along your treasured photos, whether they’re in print or digital format, that resonate with your personal notion of ‘home,’ and together, we’ll craft narratives that explore the rich tapestry of this theme. You’ll learn various stitching techniques and create your own handcrafted book to take with you, encapsulating your personal journey and reflections.
This workshop is a part of Paulina’s current exhibition here at Centrala ‘Homeland’. Homeland is departing from the research project Post-Socialist Britain?: Memory, Representation and Political Identity amongst German, Polish and Ukrainian Immigrants in the UK, a large-scale research project in collaboration with the University of Birmingham and the Nottingham Trent University exploring how and if memory is linked to political identity, and how this is manifested in a different national context.
