Join Densho for a zine-making workshop at the Seattle Public Library, part of their programming for One Book, One Coast. Designed for teens and adults, this event will include highlights from Densho’s Digital Repository and an opportunity to create a zine with teaching artist Lauren Iida. Participants will learn about Gidra, a zine created in 1969 by Asian American students at UCLA to reflect an identity influenced by the Black Power movement. Specifically, they will learn about Gidra’s liberatory concepts and focus on cross-community solidarity, labor movements, fights against displacement and gentrification, and centering the voices of communities of color. Participants will engage with the concepts shared in Gidra by creating their own artwork. Lauren Iida will share her work and perspective while supporting participants in creating their own zine pages.
This workshop will run from 2 – 4:30 pm and will be located in the Level 4 – Room 1 of Seattle Public Library’s central library. This is a free event, but registration is required.
