Hey, you. Let’s write a zine!
This workshop is designed for adults and teens 14+. This is a drop-in event, and registration is not available.
Zines are little books you write/draw, smash onto a copy machine, make prints, and give to your friends. In their simplest form they are magazines (‘zines) you make with a copy paper. The topics a zine can cover are endless. They can be comics about your friends, political rants, personal essay, DIY, etc, etc, etc. What would you want to write a zine about?
In this two-hour workshop, we will explore what zines are and make a collective zine based on a prompt. Each participant will craft a page that will form a community zine. Zines will be copied by the workshop facilitator and mailed to participants upon completion!
Supplies provided!
Zines have the capacity to explore the stories otherwise marginalized from traditional media. When you hold a zine you are holding a one-of-a-kind narrative, an unrefined artifact that resists censorship. When you write a zine you get the chance to tell your story.
