Limited to 10-12 participants. See below for a schedule of events! For participants, look out for further workshops in the future, including an opportinuty in November to help put your zines into a collection! 9/12: One-Page Zines. Learn to make two different forms of zines from a single sheet of paper, along with a brief history of zining as it relates to queer history. Participants will have the chance to customize and construct their own zines in a workshop-style setting. 9/19: Collage, Blackout, and Erasure Poems. Read and workshop poems that flip the usual scripts on queerness. Cut, splice, black out, and erase words to write poems in your own voice!
