DIY Queer History: Zines, Collage, and the AIDS Crisis with Net (they/them)
The workshop includes collaging and zine-making, and will be inspired by key historical LGBTQIA+ artists and activists from the period the AIDS crisis, including Lola Flash, Sunil Gupta and Keith Haring. This beginner-friendly and hands-on workshop acts as an accessible catalyst for participants to position themselves within the importance of DIY queer history that has so often gone unrecognised.
Participants will learn about the importance of creativity and DIY methods of information transmission, whilst being able to make their own zines based on their identity within the LGBQTIA+ community.
materials needed:
- plain paper
- scissors
- pens or pencils
- magazines and/or printed images of your choice (optional)
