Overview
Workshop: Everyday Objects as Archives 日常物件作为档案 (Mandarin & Cantonese)

对于中国大陆LGBTQIA+离散社群而言，属于我们的历史与生命经验，往往存在于一些看似平凡的日常物件之中，例如从朋友那“继承”而来的二手电饭煲、欧洲旅行防盗好物、又或者是一叠厚厚的签证申请文件。
For the mainland Chinese LGBTQIA+ diaspora, our histories and lived experiences are often embedded in seemingly ordinary objects, such as a second-hand rice cooker passed on by a friend, anti-theft travel essentials for trips around Europe, or a thick stack of visa application paperwork.

在工作坊中，我们邀请你带来一件承载着关于你的记忆、故事，或生命片段的物件。我们将一起为这些物件撰写标签，讨论如何将这些私人之物组建成我们社群的“档案馆”，留存那些可能因移民身份不确定性与住房不稳定，而在迁移中被迫舍弃的日常痕迹。
如果你愿意，也可以将带来的物件留在展览现场展出。该工坊仅限自我认同为东亚LGBTQIA+人士报名。
In this workshop, we invite you to bring along an object that holds a memory, a story, ora fragment of your life. We’ll write object labels and explore how these personal belongings can become part of a community archive of our own, preserving traces of everyday life that might otherwise be lost or left behind amid the uncertainty of temporary immigration status and insecure housing.
If you wish, you can also leave your object with us to be displayed in the exhibition.
This workshop is exclusively for East Asian LGBTQIA+ people.

📅 Date & Time: 4.30pm - 6pm, Saturday 14 Nov 2026
📍Location: The Outsiders Gallery, 64 Stoke Newington Road, London N16 7XB
