Join us for a creative art making workshop workshop run alongside the Hysterical Legacies exhibition.

The workshop is a chance for those who like to create with others, would like some guidance or simply want to meet fellow chronically ill, Disabled or neurodivergent creatives, to make an artwork in person.

Paint, draw or collage and explore what the theme of 'Hysterical Legacies' means to you.

Your artwork can then be included in the exhibition, or you can take it home on the day - it's up to you!

The workshop will be held at the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre in a fully accessible space and will be led by Hysterical Legacies curator Amelia Saward - a Naarm/Melbourne based chronically ill curator, artist, writer and arts worker.
