Pedagogue
Visit The NewBridge Project’s Reading Room this autumn to watch Pedagogue, the anti-Section 28 agit-prop video made in 1988 by Stuart Marshall, Neil Bartlett and Newcastle Polytechnic students.

Care, Temporality, Justice: a creative zine-making and radical imagination workshop
Take part in radical imagination exercises, cut and stick with some collaging activities and make your very own mini zines, all on the themes of speculative climate futures. Learn about zine making and how it can be used as a powerful tool for activism, and creatively express your own relationship with climate justice and the topics you are passionate about, as well as learn from other like-minded people. We will also be celebrating the launch of a new zine publication, ‘Care, Temporality, Justice’ – a collaborative zine about speculative climate futures – the outcome of a series of creative zine-making and radical imagination workshops held at the NewBridge Project.
This drop-in workshop is hosted by Miranda Iossifidis. Ages 13+, but a parent or guardian must accompany those under 16.
