Filiz Taylan Yuzak

I am a Free Lance Artist Educator who is passionate about creating safe inclusive spaces that nurture people’s creativity.  I started Home Ed Creatives 4 years ago – LIVE Online Group Art Classes for Home Educated children from the UK and abroad. I have since stared running in person sessions in various settings (Museums, Sports Centres and Community Centres)  for participants of a variety of ages and abilities. I have a personal creative practice, working mainly in watercolours.  I also have a small business selling cards and products  with my Art work on them.

I am a writer and a visual artist. I am passionate about intersectional inclusion and my practice supports people to express their identities and experiences through creative writing and visual art. I believe that story-telling through words and images is a powerful tool for building and strengthening communities. My skills include workshop facilitation, and event and project planning and management. I focus on creating inclusive communities, whether for a one off workshop or a long term plan. If you want to ignite imaginations and inspire empathy, I am ready to work with you. I am also a post graduate researcher in Creative Writing at the University of Portsmouth.

Hey I am Annelies James a local videographer, trainer and cat-obsessed curator of all sorts of creative stuff. I have run my marketing agency, 22Midnight for over 7 years and in this time worked across the world making videos, creating content, training individuals and organisations, and curating TEDx events. In fact, TEDxGosport is on the way in October and we are looking for speakers. I love to collab, so get in touch.
