Workshop Website
This Creative Approaches workshop was part of Peckham Platform’s Youth Platform programme, run by a group of young people working together with artists to co-design social arts projects. Zuleika Lebow is an artist, writer and educator born and raised in London. Using philosophical texts, popular culture and sci-fi as starting points, she creates spaces and artworks to prompt meaningful discussions around race, disability and language.
This special workshop includes a creative icebreaker activity and open crit, encouraging participants to use new ways of thinking about their practice that are imaginative and transferable.
In the live zoom workshop we welcomed early career artists and young adults to participate and give feedback throughout the session. Live interpretation and speech to text transcription were included.
