Zine-Making for Feminist Advocacy: A Workshop with BLTX’s Conchitina Cruz

The University of the Philippines Center for Women’s and Gender Studies (UPCWGS) invites everyone to Zine-Making for Feminist Advocacy: A Workshop with BLTX’s Conchitina Cruz on 20 November 2024 (Wednesday), 1:00-4:00 PM at the UPCWGS Conference Room. This event is the 11th session of the “Site of Convergence: Weaving Tapestries of Knowledge” lecture series.

Slots are limited so register via https://tinyurl.com/zinecruz.

In this workshop, participants will be taught how to use the zine as a medium for feminist advocacy. Participants will also be given time to create their own zines and share their works. We can provide participants with bond paper and crayons, but participants can also choose to bring their own art materials. 

Our facilitator, Conchitina Cruz, teaches creative writing and literature at UP Diliman. Her books of poetry include “Dark Hours,” “elsewhere held and lingered,” “There is no emergency,” and “Modus.” She received her PhD in English from State University of New York (SUNY) Albany. She co-organizes the small press/DIY expo Better Living Through Xeroxography (BLTX).
