A zine-making workshop for teenagers, using the radical form of the zine and the subversive genre of speculative fiction to imagine and create portals where your current self meets your future self!

We'll be at The Owl House in Aldona where we will take you through the origins of speculative fiction and the radical form of the zine as an antidote to despair and future-anxiety, and as ways to break out of a rigidity of expression and themes. We will dream our way into an expansive future beyond the walls of the present.

Page by page, we'll guide you through prompts to help create the narrative structure. Expect some fun games, delicious food, some no-pressure drawing/collaging/pressing and sticking flowers and leaves, while we help you create a story with you and you as the protagonist in a setting of your choosing.

Do you have to be an artist or someone who can draw? Nope.

Do you have to be a writer or good at writing? Nope.

All you need is to be interested in the idea and keen on some creative play! Here's a space where you can be with folks your age in a low-pressure creative environment and maybe discover something new about yourself… while eating cake.

Only 6 spots, so register soon!
