Q.W.i.M exhibition and font workshop

This Melbourne Design Week, MCD alum Courtney Bree (she/they) showcases her community design initiative Q.W.i.M (Q***r Women in Melbourne) with an exhibition, font workshop and panel discussion at Coburg Studios.

Courtney (she/they) is a q***r, socially responsive designer whose work aims to improve the social and political landscape.

Courtney's project, Q.W.i.M, aims to re-invigorate the history of q***r women in Melbourne and strengthen their identity through q***r archiving, co-designing fonts and protest inspired artwork. She will be presenting a participatory installation, where you'll find the opportunity to contribute to a hand-written font. Have a sit and get creative with your fellow design community members, and have a chat about the issue's impacting women in Melbourne's design community.

From 11am - 4pm Saturday and Sunday, you'll find her installation on Level One of the Exhibition Space. At 1pm on Sunday, Courtney will be participating in a panel discussion with other designers that explores their design as community building practices.

Come view her work, purchase art (profit goes towards funding further research) and become involved with the project itself if it invokes your passion.

People of all genders, sexualities and cultures are welcomed to participate!

Her exhibition runs concurrently with the Coburg Maker's Market, which features food, music and over local 50 stallholders.
Check out Q.W.i.M beforehand .w.i.m.research
