Copy: Publishing and Political Movements

A three-part workshop on the process of creating a political independent publication, hosted by The Vermin, WAWOG Toronto, and Colour Code.
About this Event

The Vermin is partnering with Writers Against the War on Gaza Toronto and Colour Code for a workshop on publishing and political movements as part of Zine Dream, an annual small press art fair in Toronto.
Learn how to make your own publication and how to publish in lockstep with political struggle. This three-part workshop will guide participants through the process of creating your own independent publication, from finding the money, to working with a team, to editing, designing, and printing. We will pay special attention to how publishing relates to political movements in particular, and work through examples of forms of political writing and publishing. By the end, participants will be empowered to produce their own printed matter for movement work and create a piece of printed matter to take home. A part of the proceeds will be sent to the Sameer Project, a rapid-response fund for families in the Gaza strip.

Facilitated by Nazanin Zarepour, Editor-in-Chief of The Vermin; Fan Wu from Writers Against the War on Gaza Toronto; and Jesjit Gill, Co-Founder of Colour Code.
