Related Events
Join artist Khari Johnson and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop for a drop-in zine- and collage-making workshop inspired by Act Black: Posters from Black American Stage & Screen and Love & Fury: New York’s Fight Against AIDS. Using Xerox printouts, magazines, and found materials, participants will create their own zines and posters exploring themes of visibility, performance, community, and protest. Guests will be encouraged to remix imagery from print publications into bold, personal compositions, though all are welcome to create whatever inspires them.
No experience necessary—just bring your creativity and curiosity! Supplies are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
This drop-in activity is pay-what-you-wish. Donations are appreciated and encouraged!
