Unbox Presents: Lines Outside the Box Creative workshop seriesWorkshop #4 Future matters - imagining the futureThis series is going to be fun and relaxing drawing/creative sessions with new accessible prompts each week that will be interesting and engaging! Participants will be encouraged to push themselves outside of the box, whether that be the box of gender or just the lines you usually create. This session is for imagining the futureOctavian will give out a few creative prompts and ask everyone to relate this to their own concepts of joy and gender to explore. This is not just for trans people, we want to create a space where everyone can create and explore together! The class starts with some quick and fun drawing exercises to get you warmed up. Then goes into longer drawing times and runs for 2 hours with 30 mins at the end to show off our work and have a chat to wind down. We believe we should foster creativity and play more than we do in our adult lives; so we create for the sake of creating, rather than to produce flawless art. In this session, we will What do I need?These sessions are for all creative spirits and no experience is needed. All that&#x27;s required is whatever materials you like to create with, an open mind, and a respect for others. Whilst some certain materials will be used by the facilitator, this is designed for folks to use whatever materials they would prefer to use. If you are new to creating stuff, we suggest the following to get you started, but if you know what you like to create with just bring it along. This session is about exploring the future and the sometimes complicated way that can feel as a trans person or allies in our life, so bring things to create with whatever feels most comfortable. Octavian will be using drawing materials but it really is up to you! Suggested Materials: -Pens , markers, pencils-Drawing tablet if you prefer digital! -Anything easy to set up and use quickly meduim like paint pens or watercolours, you can use clay or other materials if you prefer. - Your laptop or phone with the Zoom app downloadedWho is running the sessions?All the sessions will be facilitated by Octavian Starr, a trans community artist and advocate who believes creativity is for everyone and wants to create safe spaces for trans and other LGBQ+ people to explore art and be respected whilst doing so. The world is particularly hostile to trans folks at the moment, so having a space for them and their allies to create safely seemed needed! We will explore a range of subject matter, concepts, and themes centering around trans identities and gender. We are providing a safe community space where you can relax, create and share your artwork at the end of each session… but only if you want to! Each session is a bit different so check them all out!
