Wishes, Desires, Demands!

What are your wishes for women’s* health? What do you hope or imagine for the future of women’s health in Scotland? In this zine-making workshop, we will creatively reflect on these questions. After a brainstorming session, participants will create a zine page to express your wishes, demands, or desires for women’s health and healthcare in Scotland. We will provide images from The Living Memory Association’s photo archives and other crafting and art materials for you to work with. The individual zine pages will be scanned, printed, and bound together into a co-created zine manifesto for the future of women’s healthcare. You will receive a copy of the completed zine following this workshop!

*This event is open to all cisgender, transgender and non-binary participants with experience of accessing women's healthcare, of all ages and creative inclinations!
