Reclaiming Money: Create Your Own Currency

If you have ever found yourself thinking about how we use money or what it actually represents in our daily lives, there is a workshop coming up on April 25th that approaches this from a creative angle. Aghh! Zine is hosting a session titled Reclaiming Money: Create Your Own Currency at The Scrap Space, specifically in their Cosy Crafting Room at 113 Queens Road, Brighton. The idea behind this session is to step away from standard economic concepts and instead explore the value of money by physically making your own currency using reclaimed materials.

This workshop is part of the ongoing series for Aghh! Zine Issue 04. It is less about financial theory and more about a hands-on exercise in re-evaluating what we consider valuable. By using materials that have been recovered or repurposed, the session encourages participants to think about how they might align their own currency with the things that actually matter to them and their local community. It is a practical way to engage with the concept of exchange and value, rather than just discussing it in the abstract.

Since the event takes place at The Scrap Space, the environment is set up for this kind of tactile, craft-based work. If you are interested in how creative projects can intersect with social or economic questions, this might be worth looking into. It is a straightforward opportunity to spend some time making something tangible while considering the systems we interact with every day. You can find the specific details on tickets and the full agenda for the session through the official event pages online.
