Location
Turner Contemporary
Join Margate Pride at Turner Contemporary for a relaxed, drop-in workshop exploring how everyday memories can become a lasting historical record.
Help archive the living history of Margate Pride by creating pages for a collaborative community zine. Using zine-making as a creative introduction to archiving, you’ll work with archival materials, collage, text, and photos printed directly from your phone.
The finished zine will be archived as part of Margate Pride’s new Heritage Hotline project, preserving LGBTQ+ experiences and culture in Thanet from the 1960s onwards. A welcoming space to share stories, make something together, and learn how to get involved with the project.
