Imagining Resistance Conference

Earlier this year, our Young Women's Advisory Group (YWAG) and Intern participated in a workshop on Imagining Resistance. The workshop was a part of research project by Prof. Kristi Langhoff (University of Sussex), Dr Camille Warrington (University of Bedfordshire) and Becky Warnock (London College of Communication, University of the Arts London).

Through this research, the team have designed a practical resource to support work with young people - an interactive deck of cards - and are launching it at a conference. The Imagining Resistance Conference is on Thursday 4 December, in South London and is free to attend. You can sign up by following this link or emailing Kristi Langhoff (k.e.langhoff@sussex.ac.uk).

Below, our Intern Tallulah reflects on participating in the workshop and the opportunity to attend the conference:

Taking part in the Imagining Resistance workshop was eye opening. It was a great space to be in and it offered me a short time to take a pause , to really think about what resistance means to me and also how it might affect others. The conversation we had around it was honest and heartfelt but also challenging as resistance can be shown in many different ways. It ended up with me feeling inspired and reflective. As resistance could be quiet acts of imagination not always loud and big.

Being able to attend the conference with the YWAG is definitely a nice experience and expansion in the work we contributed to. Really excited to see all of the hard work put into action!
