Zine-ing Shared Connections with Folasade Lawal: create concertina zines through drawing, collage & writing to reflect & build community.
About this Event

Ubuntu – I am because we are is a multi-stranded exhibition and workshop programme conceived by Jason Forrest, Sharon Bertram, and Ian Thompson.

The philosophy of ubuntu, originating from the Bantu and Xhosa traditions of southern Africa, and later popularised by Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela, embodies the idea that our humanity is deeply interconnected. The phrase ‘I am because we are’ expresses values of community, collectivism, and shared responsibility, fostering an awareness of how our lives are shaped by those around us.

Join us for Zine-ing Shared Connections, led by Folasade Lawal, a British Nigerian illustrator, writer and educator and Camberwell College of Arts graduate. Participants are guided to create their own concertina zine using drawing, collage and writing. The session encourages self-reflection and open conversation, using the zine form as a tool for creative expression and building a sense of community.
