Award-winning musician, activist and writer, Chardine Taylor-Stone (Border Widow, Big Joanie), leads a workshop looking at how imperialism can still inform British worker movements, sometimes causing tensions when it comes to building international solidarity with anti-colonial, anti-imperialist non-western struggles. Participants are not required to bring any materials but points of discussion that participants wish to explore are encouraged eg, Palestine, Black Lives Matter and other points of struggle.

The successful applicant of the Fat Out x The Fat Zine open call exhibition: Eve Frances is a queer artist who works primarily with textiles to explore themes of Fat Justice and Fat Liberation. Her work is soft and symbolic; working with needle felting techniques, hand embellishment, and applique to explore the intersections of craft and textiles with liberation and activist movements; resulting in unique decorative works. Frances uses illustration within her textiles pieces to convey meaning and narrative, as well as direct imagery that celebrates fatness. Frances has had previous successful solo exhibitions — Under the Sun (2023) and Apple Seed (2024) — and exhibited in numerous group exhibitions.
