Workshops at the QUEERCIRCLE by ANKA D in London

I worked with students from Shooters Hill Sixth Form for four weeks in November 2022 to facilitate creative responses to the idea of Queer Utopias/Dystopias. Students took inspiration from my work to create their own 3-D models and maquettes, while considering the work of Bones Tan Jones and their current exhibition 'Tunnel Vision" at the QUEERCIRCLE. Students listened to local people speak about their involvement in the Coalition to Stop the Silvertown Tunnel, asking how creative strategies for social change could be developed. They travelled on the cable-car to see the tunnel was being built, with its pathway being dug directly underneath QUEERCIRCLE. Students photographed their work and had open discussions about sexuality and politics outside of the classroom and the need for safe inclusive spaces to have these conversations.
