TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT BUT YOU ARE STILL WELCOME AT THE DOOR!
Calling artists, writers, and creatives!
Learn more about how to make zines, the legendary underground and DIY art form integral to pre-internet queer and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities since the ‘70s. Zines are self-published, small-circulation “magazine” that can cover a wide range of topics, including personal narratives, art, poetry, politics, and more.
This free workshop will include a brief history of zines, considerations for zine-making in regard to copyright, intellectual property, and Indigenous Knowledges, as well as time for people to create their own zines.
Supplies will be provided during the workshop. Participants are welcome to bring any materials of their own. (Magazines? Photos? Newspapers? Yes!)
