Artist and scholar Laura Rodriguez Castro will lead a session of zine and memory-making (Haciendo memoria) and open conversation in collaboration with artists from Yo Soy Collective.
You will learn 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.
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.
Equipment and light refreshments will be supplied.
Participants of all levels welcome.
WHEN: Saturday 12 November, 1pm - 3pm
WHERE: Blak Dot Gallery, 33 Saxon St, Brunswick
Free entry. Bookings are required.
