6:30 pm – 7:45 pm | Power thru Print: A Zine Making Workshop with activist and educator, Nicole Acosta-Nemergut
Zines are as powerful as any other form of art and design, and a great way for your students to think and express themselves on current issues. Usually associated with the Punk, Feminist, and Queer movements, among others, these self-published cut and paste booklets have served as a platform to practice resistance and address issues ignored by the mainstream media. It is strongly suggested to bring any writings you’ve already done, old magazines, and any other fun political art you might want to incorporate.
