GLBT History Museum: No Straight Lines: Making Queer Comics & Zines

Join visual artists Ajuan Mance and Rhea Ewing for a workshop with the GLBT Historical Society diving into the power of showcasing queer stories and culture via comics. Utilizing themes of identity, community, and queer culture explored in our latest exhibition, Curve Magazine Cartoons: A Dyke Strippers’ Retrospective, participants will be introduced to the basics of creating autobiographical and personally resonant comic strips and zines using accessible materials. This event will begin with a conversation between our two speakers on their own experiences and work in the medium, and then will move into an interactive DIY workshop inviting LGBTQ+ people to create short memoir comics about themselves, their lives, their experiences and memories.

This event is co-sponsored by Bay Area Queer Zine Fest.
