The Magic of the Mixtape: Zine-making Workshop with Zoe Thompson
About this Event
A zine-making workshop that explores song curation as a love language. Have you ever made your crush a mixtape? Do you believe that playlist curation is an art form? What songs soundtrack your life?
Come and make a fun pocket-book zine filled with collages, writing or drawings that capture the visual & sonic energies of the music that defines you or brings you joy.
Come with a playlist in mind in your chosen platform (Spotify, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, etc.), or be prepared to make a playlist we can print out to add to your zine.
Please note that these workshops are only for LGBTQIA+ residents who are on low income, or experiencing financial hardship or social isolation during the cost-of-living crisis.
