We meet today in regular room Th 3:30pm - 6:00pm CSS 1114. Here's what to bring!

===
For our fabulous workshop we meet today in our regular room:

Th 3:30pm - 6:00pm CSS 1114.

BRING WITH YOU: 

--your circuit scribe kits!

--fun writing implements: colored pencils, markers, etc. I will provide sharpies, glue sticks, and scissors so don’t worry about those.  

--collage materials, old magazines, images, photocopies: anything you feel comfortable cutting up!

BEFORE CLASS: 

Writing/Sketching/Thinking Prompt: Before you come to class on Thursday, please journal, draw/sketch, make a bulleted list (or some combo of these) about your utopian (or dystopian) version of the maker movement. What are your (our) dreams for what “making” can mean? What kinds of “making” do we want to make space for in our world—what do we want “making” to look like? What do we want “making” to be used for—what kinds of work can/should it do in the world? What and whose labor is needed to make this happen? These can be existing or imaginary utopias/dystopias/heterotopias. It can be short, typed, handwritten, whatever you want but it just needs to fit on 1 page. There is no wrong way to do this!

Please bring this with you to class: 

--one extra copy of your writing/sketching/thinking (you can photocopy it at the library!). So you’ll have one copy to keep and one copy to use in the workshop.

Thursday Zine Workshop with Melissa Rogers! yay! Please prepare and bring items described

===

Zines (short for ‘magazines’ or ‘fanzines’) are independently produced and distributed publications; they are textual, visual, and material forms of cultural production. In today’s mini-zine workshop we think with and through zines as material manifestos/manifestations of feminist, queer, anti-racist maker movements. How have anti-racist and queer feminists used zines to generate theory from everyday life and to articulate utopian/dystopian versions of the world? How might we use zines to imagine and create our own visions of maker movements?

Recommended reading: Alison Piepmeier, “Why Zines Matter: Materiality and the Creation of Embodied Community,” American Periodicals 18.2 (2008).
