Since the 1930’s, people just like you have been getting creative and making zines to share their messages and ideas. Using techniques like collage, writing and drawing, now it’s your turn to channel your inner activist and create your very own zine for change.

Join the creators of Abolition is Love Dr. Syrus Marcus Ware and Alannah Fricker for a zine-making workshop for all ages focused on ideas of social justice. Whether you’re passionate about politics or enthusiastic about ecology, come with a cause and learn how you can spread your message of social justice in a crafty, colourful way.

Suitable for ages 14+.
