zine

As our resident artist Kate will create a short-run of a bundled printed personal zine and new original music release.

During Thomas’ residency they want to work on a zine that deals with the way an individual's personal experience of mental illness (specifically, disordered eating) is altered and codified by encounters with institutionalized medicine. Thomas aims to further investigate the ability of local communities to create alternatives to this pathologizing of people's mental lives.

Clementine and Geoff want to produce a zine addressing some of their questions on intoxication culture, sober spaces, harm reduction, disability justice, addiction, community and how these things fit together.

Robin’s project while here is to create a biographical zine and poster about revolutionary activist and organizer Grace Lee Boggs. Robin believes it is important to connect with older generations of activists to learn from their experience and this will be at the heart of Robin's project.

Erin will write and create a new issue of her feminist and art perzine, Imaginary Windows. This issue will cover topics such as community, vulnerability, and longing. She will host a skill-sharing workshop on how to ferment kimchi. She will present her project and zine with a dinner party where participants will share the fermented foods from the workshop.

Kelly is a librarian and will be working on a series of mini-zines focused on radical research topics, a sort of correspondence school answering the questions: why look offline? and how?

Christopher Lee Kennedy will transform the Robert Street Social Center into a living mushroom collaboratory for the ID of fungi specimens, mushroom foraging adventures, and mycological print making. You're invited to join for a community mushroom hunt and free advice on how everything is connected to everything else (like a rhizome of course).

After learning about the wild seaweed harvest in Maine, Jesse hopes to connect to seaweed lovers in Halifax and share what she's learned via a zine and a seaweed-themed event.

Sabrina and Adam will create a collaborative zine on self-care. The zine will focus on an interdisciplinary approach, including diverse perspectives on food, magic, spirituality, fitness, and self-care.

Rosie will make a zine about Halifax's DIY punk music fest, Harbour Water Fest. The zine will include photography, interviews, posters & more, chronicling the history and the development of Harbour Water Fest over the last 4 years.
