AR Activism & Digital Protest
Spring 2025
Artist Kumbirai Makumbe led a series of workshops with participants from CAYA (Come As You Are), a Newham-based youth service supporting LGBTQ+ young people. The sessions focused on digital storytelling and web-based art, using hotglue.me - a free, accessible web-building tool.
Participants were invited to create personal webpages inspired by the last song that moved them. These digital works became a space for reflection, visual expression, and creative exploration that blended sound, text, and imagery to capture the emotional and cultural significance of music in their lives.
Kumbirai’s facilitation emphasised intuitive design, accessibility, and the possibilities of self-expression through DIY digital tools.
