Abstract or Description

An introductory workshop "Using Extreme List-Making to Explore Objects and Images" took place on Fri, 5 Mar 2021, to which participants brought cherished objects and image and talked about them.

This was followed several months later by targetted workshops with the the Red Ribbon Living Well group with the aim of hosting a World AIDS Day event for the general public. I facilitated an online planning meeting (15 October) and three banner-making workshops at Goldsmiths on 30 October, 13 November and 27 November 2021. A total of 4 banners as well as a selection of texts amd images were created and displayed at the event which was titled "Welcome Home" to express how group members felt about their membership of the group which had been co-founded by group direct Husseina Hamza in 2009. The event was well-attended by both the general public and Lewisham-based health professions who had opportunities to share and network, as they also listened to the group's programme of talks and testimonials.

Our next step (during 2022) is to create a publication drawing on and developing material from the 'Welcome Home' event for a wider audience.
