OTHER-COMICS Worshops<\/h2>\n

Artist Heidi Lunabba<\/a> invites LGBTQIA-people for a project to create comics about stereotypes and norms and the different ways to deal with them.<\/p>\n

The project consists of a discussion workshop, planning of the comics and photography. Heidi Lunabba leads the discussion where the starting point is the participants’ everyday experiences. The discussion on norms is structured so that it is easy for all to participate regardless of previous knowledge about the topic; we strive to create a safe space<\/em> where there is room the thoughts of all the participants. <\/p>\n

We will make comics based on what the participants want to share. The comics are made by combining photos and text. Heidi Lunabba takes care of photography and editing, and the taking the photos will mainly happen after the workshop. Each participant can choose whether they want to be recognisable in the photos or to participate anonymously. The participants must be willing to discuss the topic in a group; no previous experience of comics or photography is needed. <\/p>\n

The comics will be shown in an exhibition during Helsinki Pride as well as in museums or galleries and other Pride-festivals. The aim of the project is to create discussion and more space for diversity. <\/p>\n

The project consists of a workshop and a photography sessions after the workshop for those that want to feature in a comic. The workshop is 6 hours long and will be held all in a day (with breaks) or split up in 2 or 3 sessions. Adults and youth are welcome to participate in the workshop. Participation is free of charge and possible costs can be covered. Heidi Lunababa aim to organise separate workshops for persons of same or similar minority groups to create a safer space to talk about personal experiences.<\/p>\n
