From the Past to the Present: Crafting History through Banner Making

A Two Day Workshop by The Stairlings Collective

Book Your Place Here

Join the Banner-Making Workshop for LGBTQ+ Pride and express your pride in a creative and meaningful way! This workshop is designed to celebrate the rich history of the LGBTQ+ community, highlighting the important role that protest has played in achieving equality and acceptance. Using vibrant colors, bold lettering, and inspiring images, we’ll create banners that proudly showcase our diversity and resilience.

Together, we’ll explore the powerful legacy of LGBTQ+ activists, from the Stonewall riots to the modern-day fight for equal rights. We’ll discuss the significance of symbols like the rainbow flag, and how they represent both the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community. Through hands-on instruction and collaborative group work, you’ll learn how to design and craft a banner that speaks to your own unique experiences and identity.

As we work on our banners, we’ll also take time to celebrate the incredible progress that’s been made over the years. We’ll reflect on the joy and camaraderie that comes with participating in Pride events, and how these celebrations help us feel seen, heard, and valued. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a beautiful and meaningful banner to carry with you as you march in Pride parades, attend rallies, or simply display in your home as a testament to your pride and resilience.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join fellow members of the LGBTQ+ community in an empowering and creative workshop that honors our past, present, and future. Sign up now to reserve your spot!
