Zines: DIY, Culture, and Prisoner Solidarity
Saturday, April 17, Session 1
Workshop B: 10:15 - 11:15 AM PST
For an expressive and collective task during social distancing, zines provide a physical connection between prison walls. Zines are the poems, manifestoes, and lived experience of both prison activists and incarcerated prisoners of class war. Learn and create a great way for hands-on transformative justice and abolition using zines.
