The Working Class Creatives Database

A few weeks back we hosted a wonderful workshop at Tate Britain , exploring community building, art and protest through badge making.




Big thanks to everyone who came alone, to for allowing us to take some reference materials along with us. To Michael and the team at Tate for the support.

More of this please !!
