Brique x brique, 633 Beaumont (métro Acadie)

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.

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.
