Haciendo memoria zine

The Haciendo Memoria Zine was created by participants of a zine-making workshop, which was part of the Primavera Artist Market & Community Day.

Scholar and Artist Dr Laura Castro Rodriguez lead a session of zine and memory-making (Haciendo memoria) and open conversation in collaboration with Paula Muraca and Jess Ibacache, Yo Soy Collective co-founder. Participants learnt how to create a zine that tells a story and captures memories, while also having the opportunity to participate in conversations around memories, lived experiences, politics, and culture. The end result was a collaborative zine called ‘Haciendo Memoria’.

Laura recently published the zine 'Memories and Post-Conflict: Latin American Migrants in Australia' with Spanish and English versions, which is part of a research project that seeks to understand how difficult memories are felt, lived, remembered, and forgotten by the Latin American diaspora in Australia – shaping shared past and present struggles for justice, joy, care, healing and belonging. This zine was also included in the Ancestral Magik exhibition.
