Artist Commune: Zines Out Loud invites artists of all skill levels to create zines focused on queer resistance and joy. Zines are small pamphlet-like publications, typically handmade, that contain a variety of media, from text to artwork, covering a range of topics. This event is open to the queer community and allies alike.
After a short presentation and guided discussion led by Community Engagement Intern Drea Chalfan, attendees can converse and create! Explore how you can be loud and proud through poetry, writing, drawing, or collage. This event offers a space for community along with the supplies to get started or work on a zine.
Free and open to all.
