About this Event

Please note: this event will be held in person.

Autobio comics and zines are a creative and accessible way to explore, process, and reflect on lived experiences, emotions, memories, moments in time, and more. This workshop will introduce participants to a number of autobiographical comics and zines ranging in narrative styles from literal to abstract. As well as concepts within autobiographical comics practice such as ‘the autobiographical avatar’.

We will then go through the process of creating an 8-page autobiographical zine using one sheet of paper, applying principles of comic making and design throughout. Each participant will have created their own 8-page autobio zine at the end of the workshop.

CW: Memory, Grief, Self-reflection
