ABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST
Bird Lips Zine is an Ottawa-based, self-published zine series created by artist and writer Kayla Eli (she/her). As a BFA graduate, she was inspired by her previous experience as a zinester in high school to bring back her passion for self-publishing and DIY culture. With her zine, she discusses the mundanity of everyday life while pairing it with popular culture. Alongside zine making, she has held workshops and events dedicated to bringing the Ottawa zine community together.
COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
The use of a medical mask is strongly encouraged for this event. We ask everyone to respect each other’s decisions, comfort levels, and health needs.
In partnership with the Ottawa Public Library, Rosemount branch.
