Using the statement ‘TELL ME MORE’ as a starting point, the first session will guide participants in developing an inclusive vocabulary informed by HYPER-POSSIBLE on show the Herbert Museum & Art Gallery. This will feed into the making of individual and collective zines and pamphlet-style publications in session 2, with paper and print ephemera, photo printing, photocopying, and printmaking techniques.
