Join us at our free Salone & I zine workshop with OOMK/ Rabbits Road Press. Our workshop welcomes Sierra Leonean Londoners to share and discuss Salone life in London for a zine publication.

Guests are invited to draw and write as we listen to the sounds of Salone, reflect on photos and documents, share our experiences growing up in London and being part of the Sierra Leonean community. Our drawings and writings will bound together in a zine for the 'Creating and Finding Voices'* project, and guests will be able to take a copy home for themselves.

*LIMITED SPACES* Please ensure that you have registerd in advance.
