Connect & Create: Zine-Making as Resistance with Emma Ryan

Join us for a hands-on zine-making workshop that explores how these DIY booklets have been used to share stories, spread ideas, and build community. We’ll start with a brief introduction to the history of zines and their role in activism and advocacy.  You’ll have the chance to create your own zine on a topic that matters to you!

All materials will be provided. No experience necessary.

Space is limited to 25 participants. Please register in advance.
