Last week we ran a workshop with Revolt, open to the public to create posters celebrating International Women’s Day.

We had a great evening of discussion, empowerment, fun & laughter. And we look forward to the next one!

Today we celebrated #Pinterest100 trends for 2020 with @pinterestUK.

We represented the trend 'Protest Posters' by showcasing our posters that bring light and positivity to a range of issues. 🌍🙌

Out and about with @keep_it_complex #internationalsockexchange. @G_LIST3R is stopped & sparks chat about an open Europe as she walks her dog in the Yorkshire Dales. After thoughts: "Kindness is joy, joy is open-minded and open-minded gets back what is given"

“Empowerment” took many forms in last weeks workshop with the incredible women from @SisterWorks in Melbourne. Twisting and turning the words from newspaper off-cuts, posters crafted were thoughtful in their process and opened up larger discussions. Thanks so much for having us✨

Tomorrow we are running a workshop with @SisterWorks in Melbourne ✨

Another great workshop poster aiming to support student mental health. 🗣️ Playing on the location perceptions and detailing helpful welfare information at the bottom of the poster. #studentwelfare #MentalHealthMatters @LeedsArtsUni

[Protest Press @protestpress]

Protest Press was kindly invited by @LeedsArtsUni to give a talk and run a workshop! Themes of the workshop were driven by students, with focus on pushing the output of their messages into public spaces.
