Queer Zine Workshop
Calling artists, writers, and creatives! UBC Okanagan Library has partnered with Kelowna Museums to offer a workshop to help you learn more about zines and how to make them.
This legendary underground and DIY art form has been integral to pre-internet queer and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities since the ‘70s. Zines are self-published, small-circulation “magazines” 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!)
Students, faculty, staff and community members are all welcome to attend this free event at the Laurel Packinghouse. Guests are welcome to bring food and drinks, but food and beverages will be provided for attendees!
Want to showcase your creations? Sign up to be an exhibitor at the third annual Queer Zine Fair on June 4.
