Self-Portrait Workshop with David Tipping

\["Make your own self-portrait with reclaimed materials, exploring identity, self-expression and sexual wellbeing, in a queer space. No experience needed. Just bring yourself. \ \ \ \ David Tipping is a queer artist who uses reclaimed materials to create self-portraits that explore his identity and challenge homophobia, including the impact of so-called “conversion therapy”. You can find his work on Instagram: @david\_tipping\_artist. \ \ \ \ In this session, David will show you how to create your own self-portrait. You’ll be invited to explore identity, sexuality and self-expression through art—whether that means making space for love and healing, or reflecting on difficult experiences. There will also be time to learn about LGBT Foundation’s sexual health provisions, and you’ll be able to pick up a sexual health test to take away. \ \ \ \ Come and connect with yourself and your community in a supportive, creative space. \ \ \ \ Age guidance: this workshop is for adults (18+) only. \ \ \ \ Content note: this workshop may touch on themes such as homophobia and conversion practices.
