Creative Activism - Art and Agitation

About The Course

A key part of our mission is the development, promotion and utilisation of our culture across the movement. We are committed to safeguarding working class culture as a key part of our identity. That is why new to the 2025-2026 programme, we have developed the Creative Activism series, linking together our culture and activism.

Each session provides an opportunity to engage directly in creative activism and produce a piece of art with meaning, whilst learning new skills and approaches.

All materials are covered in the cost of the course and no prior experience is necessary.

These courses are half days delivered across venues in the UK with expert tutors and organisations.

Art and Agitation will be delivered by Zita Holbourne, a multi-award-winning multidisciplinary artist and writer, trade union leader, community activist, human rights and equality campaigner. She has exhibited art and performed poetry on global platforms. She founded and was curator of the TUC Roots Culture Identity art exhibition and collective from 2013 to 2023.  She is joint National Chair of Artists’ Union England and co-founder and National Chair of BARAC UK.
