Join us for Liberated Futures, a zine-making workshop focused on providing a space for speculative dreaming and collective imagination for those in the trans, non-binary, and two-spirited community. Through a writing exercise of speculative storytelling, participants will explore alternative futures rooted in care, autonomy, and justice. This project responds to a deep community need for creative spaces that prioritize joy, imagination, and political expression, especially for those historically excluded from dominant narratives.

The resulting one-page folded zines will be printed using our in-house risographs at Cyber Love Garden and will be given to participants and to Dick’s Lending Library’s collection.

Register for the workshop here. Given the nature of this workshop, registration is limited to 8 participants.

Date: Friday, December 19th, 2025

Where: Brique x Brique (633 Beaumont Ave.)

Facilitator Bio:

Noka’s (they/them/elle) practice is an ever expansive amalgamation of what is vivid, fun and immersive. They’re drawn to projects where they get to play with paper and ink, have an affinity to geometric compositions, the exploration of surreal dichotomies, socio-political discourse and the world of indie horror.

Sepideh Farsi, an exiled Iranian filmmaker based in Paris, begins a remote exchange with Fatima Hassouna, a young Palestinian photojournalist. Their only link is through video calls—the fragile thread connecting two worlds. Fatima shares her besieged daily life, her photographs, and her unwavering hope; each network outage triggers panic, while each reconnection brings warmth and relief. From these exchanges, Sepideh Farsi crafts an epistolary documentary that is stunningly poignant—offering a raw, visceral experience of war. The day after Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk was selected for Cannes, Fatima Hassouna was killed, along with her family, in an Israeli airstrike. What remains is this sensitive and harrowing dialogue—a truly essential film, a rare embodiment of cinema in the immediate present.
