This workshop is designed for adul ts and teens 14+. This is a drop-in event\, and registration is not availa ble.
\nZines 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 (&lsquo\;zines) you make with a copy paper. The to pics 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?
\nIn this two-hour workshop\, we will ex plore what zines are and make a collective zine based on a prompt. Each pa rticipant will craft a page that will form a community zine. Zines will be copied by the workshop facilitator and mailed to participants upon comple tion!
\nSupplies provided!
\nZines have the capacity to explor e 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.
