Are you fed up with how you are represented in the media as a young woman, young woman of colour and/or LGBTQ young woman?
You are not the only one who feels like this, we understand, we feel the same way and we say no more!
Purple Drum is a movement of young women challenging misrepresentation and promoting equality in pop culture, and beyond. We are working with young women to generate creative challenges to racism, sexism and homophobia in popular culture including film, advertising, television, fashion and music industries. To read more about the project, click here.
You can get involved by joining us at workshops in London which will give you the opportunity to create your own piece that challenges media representation through writing, art, poetry, film or influencing policy with support from experts including:
* Reni Eddo-Lodge
* Hana Riaz
* Adunni Adams
* Manju Nair
* Carlene Firmin
* Sarah Green
All workshops will take place in central London from 6:30pm – 8:00pm.
* Writing workshops: 11th and 18th November
* Art workshops: 27th November and 4th December
* Poetry workshops: 9th and 16th December
* Film workshops: 13th and 20th January
* Influencing policy single workshop: 22nd January
* Influencing policy single workshop: 29th January
Workshops (apart from those on influencing policy) come in packs of two, so you will need to attend both!
