Orvokki of the Concern will be teaching a zine making workshop at the Rubenstein Library at Duke on Friday, September 15 at 3pm. Duke students and staff can register on the DukeArts page.
A zine is a self-published, non-commercial magazine, typically devoted to unconventional subject matter. In this two-hour workshop, students will learn zines by making one. Using collage and drawing materials, participants will create pages for a zine on the topic of preserving one’s spirit. Participants will want to think about what keeps up their spirits when times are hard. Students will leave their creation to be printed and can pick their zine up at a later date. The spirit zine could inspire others to find ways to feel better.
As a special treat, a selection of wellness-themed zines will be pulled from the Sallie Bingham Center library collection for viewing during the class to give context and inspiration.
