New tool launch: 'What is a Doughnut Portrait?'

About this session

This is the launch of DEAL's new tool What is a Doughnut Portrait? A tool to help you start planning your own Doughnut Portrait for your place and your community. The tool contains over 20 example Doughnut Portraits and is made up of different elements that you can mix and match to suit your local needs, including preparation elements and workshop elements that you can take straight to your community.

The session will be hosted by Rob Shorter, Communities & Art Lead at DEAL, who will introduce the tool, how you can use it, and everything that's gone into it, including 5 years of experience and examples!

Then we'll hear from three community organisers who've been planning their own Doughnut Portraits with their communities:

• Kyungmin Lee, who's created a Doughnut Portrait of Neutinamu Library in Yongin-si, Korea;
• Tansy Drake, who's been working with two neighbourhoods in London, UK (Old Kent Road/Walworth and Brixton) to help them plan and create their own Doughnut Portraits; and
• Diane Randell, who's been planning how to create a Doughnut Portrait for the city of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, with the community.

If you're interested to create a Doughnut Portrait for your community, this session is for you!

This session will include BSL interpreting.
