At the March 2025 Zine Club, join Possible Worlds Co-Director Melanie Yugo and and local zinesters Kiran Niet and Becca Yates of Tales from Behind the Counter to meet up, share and collaborate on zines.
Possible Worlds is partnering with the Ottawa Public Library, Rosemount Branch to present Zine Club, a series of meetups/workshops focused on zines, storytelling, sharing and documenting.
Each session will feature a theme and zine artist, and creative prompts to create a one-sheet zine as the basis for a future zine project.
Participants are also encouraged to bring zines from their collection for inspiration and discussion.
Capacity at the Rosemount Branch is limited, so those interested are encouraged to register in advance.
ABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS
Co-created by Becca Yates (she/they) and Kiran Niet (he/they), Tales from Behind the Counter (TBC for short) is a zine dedicated to building solidarity and community in Ottawa. TBC includes interviews with community members, writing, poetry, and visual art created by Becca and Kiran, as well as donated by collaborators and friends. We believe that creativity and joy are at the heart of social change, so each issue is sold by donation.
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.
