The Zine Scene: Tools for Social Change
Time and Place: The Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum Road
Web: tinyurl.com/zinesforchange
create a collection of zines about various social issues, as well as their role in advocacy movements. We will then distribute these zines to major community hubs, mirroring the historical method of information sharing and mutual aid in current times. Finally, this project aims to educate the public about and build our local zine community- furthering our collective impact and personal role in social justice!
