Lift Your Voice // Designing Zines and Handmade Books for Social Impact (ages 11-14) - Portland Art Museum


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/09/2024
Learn to lift your voice in this fun, hands-on camp dedicated to self-publishing through zines! Handmade books and zines are a DIY vehicle for sharing information, storytelling, and much more. Even more so, they are a powerful tool for young people to self-organize and make their independent voices heard.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

In this camp led by teaching artist golden collier, campers will gain a better understanding of the possibilities of zine creation by exploring the history, culture, and variety of zines. We’ll enhance our projects using simple printmaking techniques and different layout formats.  We’ll  practice being part of a collaborative creative team using group consensus tools and sharing our own stories.

Campers will become familiar with several different simple and useful book structures to create their own books. We’ll use a variety of bookmaking tools, including binders, long arm staplers, bone folders and more to design and create custom templates. This session will culminate in a gallery walk of students’ individual projects and a celebration of our collaborative group publication!

Ages 11-14
