LCC Changemakers Open Call 2026: Creative Acts of Justice

Submit your work and help build a new student-led Visual Justice Glossary.

Changemakers are paid LCC student partners who work with staff to make LCC more inclusive and representative of student voice.

For 2026, Changemakers are inviting UAL students and recent graduates to submit creative work for an LCC-led project that explores themes of racial and social justice.

Your work can take any visual form: illustration, photography, moving image, animation, digital media, graphics, zines or hybrid approaches.

Selected submissions will shape LCC’s first Visual Justice Glossary — a collaborative archive and teaching tool built from student ideas, identities, and experiences.

Themes you might explore:

• liberation, resistance and freedom
• allyship, solidarity and community
• diaspora, identity and belonging
• intersectionality and lived experience

or any idea connected to racial or social justice that matters to you.

Who can apply

• All UAL students (any course, any level)
• Recent UAL graduates

What you’ll gain

• Your work showcased as part of a student-designed creative resource.
• A chance to shape conversations, teaching and understanding at LCC.
• Connection with peers, staff and contributors working on similar themes.
• Optional involvement in development events through spring and summer.

How to apply

• Read the full Open Call information.
• Submit your work by completing the Changemakers Open Call form.

Deadline: 16 February 2026
