Trans*-Themed Comic Design Workshop

This workshop is part of Spirit Level Liverpool‘s Out Of The Shadows project which aims to help overcome marginalisation and isolation of trans+ people by giving them a chance to express themselves and work together on common issues and problems. The workshop will use comic and graphic design to tell your story or comment on the world and the way it interacts with trans+ people. Be your own superhero! Create your own fantastical or magical world! Led by Lauren, a well-known trans+ artist who studied both animation and comic-making at university and has created their own comics. Art materials will be provided but no particular level of drawing or design skills are needed.
