Stitching for change: A cross stitch exhibition with conversations about drugs and drug policy
Join us for a unique exhibition and interactive panel discussion that combines art, activism, and drug policy, aimed at 16-18 year old students and the wider general public. You'll view powerful cross stitch artworks created by community members that challenge stereotypes about drug use and policy, followed by an engaging panel discussion with leading experts in drug policy reform from Cranstoun, Recovering Justice, and Release.
Perfect for A-level students studying Criminology, Sociology or Politics who are interested in understanding how drug policy affects real lives and how grassroots movements can drive social change, as well as anyone else interested in thinking critically about drug policy.
The exhibition is open for drop-ins between 12:30-3:30pm and the panel discussion will take place 4-5pm. Please register for the panel discussion in advance, as space is limited.
Important Information: Students aged 16 to 18 (not older) who wish to attend must do so as part of a group accompanied by a staff member from their college or a guardian. A consent form must be completed by a guardian or signed by the college staff member.
