Un-Shuttered: LGBTQ+ Histories Hidden in Plain Sight

Join Radiate Arts for Un-Shuttered - a creative heritage project exploring LGBTQ+ histories, identity, memory and belonging across Chester through photography, storytelling and collaborative zine-making. 

Across 6 photography workshops, participants will explore Chester through creative image-making, capturing places, details and moments connected to personal experiences, community and LGBTQ+ heritage. Following this, participants will take part in 4 zine-making and storytelling workshops where we will work together to select photographs, share reflections, explore oral history and create a collaborative printed zine. 

All materials and photography equipment can be provided, and our friendly team will guide you throughout the project. No previous photography or creative experience is needed - beginners are very welcome. 

When: Weekly workshops across 10 sessions 

Where: Outdoor photography sessions will begin and reconvene at Rainbow Tea Rooms and some at Radiate Arts, check listing for details. Indoor zine-making and storytelling sessions will take place at Radiate Arts. 

This is a welcoming…
