What might a world look like if species could no longer be confined to fixed categories? In this creative workshop, you'll make image collages of fictional queer organisms: colourful, flamboyant and proudly beyond the norm.
The workshop takes its inspiration from Darwin Drag (2025) by Yuki Kihara. In this work, Charles Darwin makes a surprising confession: 'I kept a secret about the queer animal queendom.' Starting from this playful and thought-provoking premise, you'll explore evolution, diversity and the stories we tell about the natural world through a queer lens.
Over a drink, you'll create your own new 'species' and imagine a world where difference is not restricted but celebrated. No artistic experience is needed – just bring your curiosity.
This workshop is part of Pride Leiden and complements Yuki Kihara's exhibition at Wereldmuseum Leiden. Places are limited to 20 participants, so be sure to book in advance.
