Zine Making with Prisoner Correspondence Project

An all-in-one primer of what you need to know about zines, their historic role in leftist movements, and their current relevance in the age of Information. This workshop will be facilitated by volunteers from Prisoner Correspondence Project (PCP).

Plus: make your own zine with provided materials, and check out samples from the zine libraries of QPIRG-McGill, QPIRG Concordia, and PCP.

Prisoner Correspondence Project (PCP) is a solidarity project for 2SLGBTQ+ prisoners in Canada and the United States, linking them with people a part of these same communities outside of prison. As part of our work, we distribute hundreds of zines covering many, many topics – from gay smut to safer tattooing to legal aid – per year to queer prisoners who request them from our library.

This event is part of Culture Shock 2024! Culture Shock is an annual event series on anti-racism, migrant justice, and Indigenous solidarity. It seeks to bring together racialized communities to discuss issues relevant to their lives, as well as to allow those who do not belong to these communities to learn more about struggles against racism, colonialism and border violence. Every year, QPIRG brings panels, workshops, film screenings, performance nights and fundraiser parties to McGill students and broader Montreal communities.

Culture Shock 2024 will take place from October 21st to 30th. For more information, visit qpirgmcgill.org/cs
