|What’s it all about?
Get ready to unleash your creativity and connect across cultures in a hands-on, two-part workshop where collage meets zine-making. No experience? No problem! This is a space for everyone to explore, express, and share their story.
Part One: Creating Collages of Home
Dive into the themes of home and belonging. You’ll craft analogue collages using a mix of your own photos (optional!) and our curated materials—creating a visual tribute to your identity, your roots, and your journey to Charlotte.
Part Two: Binding Our Stories Together
Turn your collage into a zine! Learn the basics of self-publishing and design, then hand-stitch your very own zine using the simple but beautiful saddle stitch technique. You'll walk away with a piece of collaborative art that tells our shared story.
| This will be a fun, creative, and meaningful evening—and we’d love to see you there! |
