The No Fly on the WALL Academy opens its doors again this month for another event. This year, as well as our monthly brunches and regular events, we will be hosting a series of guest workshops facilitated by people we admire. In this series there will be workshops led by Tobi Oredein of Black Ballad, Chama 'Kay' Kapumpa, Rudy Loewe, and Seyi Newell of TRiBE.

The first workshop in this series was led by Tobi Oredein, writer and editor of Black Ballad, a UK lifestyle website which explores the human experience through the diverse lens of Black and mixed-race women living in Britain. The second workshop in this series will be led by non-binary artist, Rudy Loewe.

In this creative workshop, artist Rudy Loewe invites participants to share our stories and histories by making zines. The session will begin with a space to discuss what narratives we feel are not being told. Who controls the stories and perspectives of black people? What histories and lived experiences do we want to bring to the forefront? What is the role of Afrofuturism in sharing the current experiences that black people face?

All levels of experience are welcome. If you have never made a zine, or would not usually engage in creativity, there will be no expectation of ability, so please feel welcome to join.

**This workshop is for all black folks who are part of the African & Caribbean diaspora.**
