Queering Wales, Connecting people! A series of online workshops and talks by On Your Face Collective in partnership with Glynn Vivian
Wales is home to a diversity of queer people. For this project, On Your Face want to make a space and put the spotlight on those lives, stories, and voices that are often overlooked, to showcase the diversity and intersection of identities within the LGBTQ+ community of Wales.
Over the course of one year, On Your Face, in partnership with Glynn Vivian, will be running monthly online workshops and talks led by queer creatives.
Running on the last Wednesday of each month, you will hear about their creative practices, learn new skills and different ways of working with materials and making art.
From writing workshops and making your own inks, to sculpting with cardboard and having a go at performance art.
