Pleasure is not gratuitous, but rather a tool for liberation. Let’s make zines about it!
About the workshop:
This workshop will be a chance for folks with marginalized identities to explore sex positivity and the power of pleasure. Through a short presentation about zine-makers creating sex-positive works and a hands-on activity where everyone makes their own mini-zine, participants will learn that their pleasure is not gratuitous, but rather a tool for liberation. Whether you’re a seasoned sex educator, or you’re just beginning to unlearn the culture of sex negativity, come join us for some low-stakes reflection and creation!
Date:
This is a 2-hour online workshop on Saturday, August 23rd at 10am-noon PST/1pm-3pm EST. The workshop is capped at 25 participants. Everyone who signs up will receive a Zoom link via email and then a recording of the workshop afterwards.
What you need:
• Bring writing and drawing materials. We’ll be doing some freewriting and then drawing short comics. You can work with any tools you enjoy, like watercolor, digital drawing, or colored pencils.
