Zine Making as Reflections on ‘Ties That Bind’
31st July 2024
Black Cultural Archives

Join us in creating your own Zine inspired by the themes of the Black Cultural Archives’ exhibition, ‘Ties That Bind: Reflections on Black Life, Surviving Hostile Environments, and Mental Health.’ Zines, deeply rooted in DIY culture, enable you to express your thoughts, feelings, and ideas through creative mediums like writing, drawing, and collage.

‘Ties That Bind: Reflections on Black Life, Surviving Hostile Environments and Mental Health’ is a mixed media exhibition reflecting on Black mental health and connecting intergenerational experiences in the UK. The exhibition explores themes such as the necessity of intergenerational engagement; the weight of Black existence on mental health; the necessity of seeking joy, and the impacts of the Home Office scandal on wider communities. This event is co-facilitated with Principal Investigator Young researchers who co-curated this exhibition. 

🎟️ Space is limited. Whilst this event is free, we welcome a suggested minimum donation of £3. All proceeds go to Black Cultural Archives allowing us to further our impact in the communities we serve.

Please note:

• This event is suitable for attendees ages 16 and up
