Join visual artist and signwriter Laura Nelson for a hands-on workshop where creativity meets activism.
Signs in Solidarity invites participants to design and create powerful placards, banners, and signs advocating for affordable social housing. This welcoming and supportive workshop offers a space to connect with others and raise your voice through visual expression. You'll learn sign-making techniques, drawing inspiration from the rich history of protest signage and its makers.
All signs created during the workshop will be displayed in the gallery as part of The State of Belfast exhibition—adding your voice to a collective call for housing justice.
Programmed as part of The State of Belfast exhibition. The State of Belfast uses Grenfell by Steve McQueen as a stepping off point to address the inherent injustices and inequality as well as issues of race and poverty which are inextricably linked to the Grenfell tragedy. The State of Belfast explores how these same conditions exist in Belfast and how we might collectively address them.
This national tour of Grenfell is being coordinated by Tate in collaboration with the partner venues and is made possible thanks to support using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and from Art Fund. Each presentation will be free to visit and will be accompanied by a public engagement programme of talks, workshops and community events supported by the Grenfell Foundation.
