1:45 - 2:30: Embracing Your Narrative // abrazando tu narrativa – with Positive Images
During these heavy times existing as queer and/or trans, we offer this workshop as a creative space for folks to engage with and embrace their narratives living as a queer/trans person. Embracing our stories is important more than ever, and we invite folks to write a personal story or create a fictional character whose story may be reflective of your own. We will offer a zine “workbook” that will guide you in crafting your narrative and finding empowerment in our collective stories.
2:45 – 3:30: “Panza llena, corazón contento": A Zine Workshop About Food and Memory
The Mexican dicho, “Panza llena, corazón contento” or in the US, “The way to someone's heart is through their stomach” are axioms to anyone who's ever had a fabulous meal surrounded by those they love. In this workshop we will be making a short food memory zine about your favorite meal or food gathering while focusing also on the people connected to that meal. Whether it's a simple picnic in the park on a summer day, for Grandpa's famous mole, or a sumptuous feast with friends let's make and share our favorite food stories as zines!
3:45 – 4:30: Exploring Identity and Creating Belonging with Zines
In this workshop, participants will be invited to create a perzine that connects to the theme of Identity and Belonging. The presenters will share ideas for incorporating zines into the classroom and examples of work created in Ms. Ambrose’s Ethnic Studies class at Analy High School. Please be sure to check out the Analy Ethnic Studies exhibitor booth as well!
