Zines are manifestos, Utopian visions, poetry, prose, lists, and doodles. Making them a perfect counterculture medium for distributing untold narratives.
Decolonizing our bodies: Zine-making workshop for QTPOC with Gabe Taylor
Thursday, 13 February
HUB SR 201-202, 12pm to 1pm
Zines are manifestos, Utopian visions, poetry, prose, lists, and doodles. Making them a perfect counterculture medium for distributing untold narratives.
Gabe Taylor is a black agender femme artist based in Central Pennsylvania. Since 2014 they have been creating zines and other artforms to explore the intersectionality of their identities with a focus on gender, sexuality, race, and mental illness. They believe in existence as a form of resistance and encourage others to use art to tell their own stories. Gabe earned an Associate’s of Arts degree with a focus in photography from the Art Institute of Washington in 2011. In their spare time, they volunteer as a facilitator for the transgender and non-binary support group at the LGBT center of Central PA and are the Co-Director of the Center’s ARTS of PA initiative.
This workshop will teach you some of the techniques and approaches to zine-making. Participants will be invited to collectively create a zine on the theme of 'decolonizing our bodies'. How can we creatively imagine and claim our bodies from racist, cisnormative, heterosexist, ableist beauty standards?
This event focuses on providing opportunities for queer and trans student of color expression.
This event is a Love Your Body Week Event
