with Armeghan Taheri

Kunsthaus ACUD

In this zine workshop we will explore how to access our creativity by drawing from all the tools, inspirations and memories that already lie within us. We will learn how to create a small zine and experiment with what it means to artistically communicate something we want to express politically. Under the heading "Future" we will draw, write and collage a zine to get an idea of what we want to abolish in order to create something new or vice versa.  
  
Most importantly, we will use the time to return to the playful and create a familiar collective space. The zines that are created within this framework can serve young girls and women as a tool for rebellion, empowerment, political communication and freedom of expression.  
  
No previous knowledge or experience is required. The room has space for 7 participants aged between 12 and 20.
 
The workshop will be led by Armeghan Taheri.
