Queer Zine Making Workshop

Are you a queer person or ally in Meanjin/Brisbane? Do you feel kind of jaded given the collective bin-fire of a year we’ve all had? Do you long to bring forth queer futures that radiate, shine and glisten with joy and radical transformation?

COME TO OUR QUEER UTOPIA’S ZINE MAKING WORKSHOP! This is a free, all ages zine making workshop on Sat the 14th of November from 12-2pm at Echo and Bounce. We are delighted to bring you this event as a collaboration between Trans Social Arts Club Meanjin and the Queer and Free Collective.

Some key definitions for the theme:

Utopia: an imagined place, world or community that captures ideal qualities for the people in it (think your own perfect queer world, galaxy, community or place).

Zine: a self-published mini ‘magazine’ or booklet, often self-published. Your zine may include writing, drawing, painting, collage or prints.

This workshop is a space for queer community and allies of all ages to come together to imagine our own queer futures and utopias in a joyful, crafty way. Families and children are welcome, however all children under the age of 16 must be supervised by a responsible adult. This is a drug and alcohol free event.

We will provide zine making supplies on the day but please bring your own collage materials!

These may include:

• old magazines

• photos

• pages from books

• glitter

• stickers

• diamantes

• elements from nature (leaves, sand etc.)

There will be limited parking at the venue so we encourage the use of public transport.

The event will be held on the ground floor near the bar area which is accessible for wheelchair users via the front entrance on Stanley St. Please note the back entrance has stairs.

Please don’t forget to RSVP for numbers and reach out via email if you have any questions regarding the event.
