Exploring contemporary abortion rights: a creative workshop

Join us for a creative workshop to exchange ideas and create our own understandings of abortion rights. We will be engaging in conversation alongside embroidery and printmaking. No prior experience is necessary, and you will make your own print to take home! This workshop is limited to 12 participants.

This event is hosted by Claire Pierson and Liza Caruana-Finkel. Light refreshments will be available. 

Abortion rights are being challenged all over the world with activists working tirelessly to ensure abortion access and remove restrictive laws. The use of art and creative approaches to highlight abortion rights and fight abortion stigma is vital in this work.  

We also invite participants to join our panel discussion the day prior to the workshop at "Exploring contemporary abortion rights in conversation". This event will share approaches in different contexts, including Malta and Ireland, and help us uncover ongoing barriers to abortion rights in Britain.  

This event will be led by Claire Pierson, Senior Lecturer in Politics, and Liza Caruana-Finkel, Voice for Choice Malta and a PhD researcher, at the University of Liverpool (https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/politics/research/research-projects/abortion-reform-strategies/) in conjunction with the Liverpool Independent Arts School.  

This event is open to anyone over the age of 18. 

It will be of particular interest to those involved in feminist activism and movements or in creative methods.

This event is preceded by a public event on Friday 7th November.

Booking will close a few hours before the event starts.
