About this Event
Come spend an afternoon making your own zine using simple, hands-on techniques. This workshop is all about experimenting with folding, cutting, and stitching (no prior experience required).
Your zine can be about anything– a story, a drawing series, poems, found images, or something you make on the spot.
We will go through a few easy ways to put together zines and give you time to create your own. All materials will be provided, and you will also have the opportunity to scan and assemble your zine during the workshop, so you can leave with a finished copy or two. Completed zines can also be submitted to the Ukrainian Zine Library at SVI.
In collaboration with Kosa Arts and Hart House at the University of Toronto
This initiative is part of the Talking Walls exhibition titled Future Folkways: Reclaiming Rituals, Remaking Roots, marking the 15th anniversary of Kosa Kolektiv, a Toronto-based community of artists, cultural activists, and diaspora members exploring, reclaiming, and celebrating Ukrainian and Slavic folk traditions. Through this community, Kosa Folk Arts was established (formerly known as Folk Camp), continuing the work of cultural preservation and creative reinvention. An archive of all Kosa Kolektiv zines created since the collective's inception can also be found in the Ukrainian Zine Library at SVI.
Hart House, a centre for experiential learning at the University of Toronto, has served as a gathering place since 1919. Located in a historic neo-Gothic building, it offers space for arts, dialogue, wellness, and community engagement, welcoming students and the broader public year-round.
