Zines, pronounced as ZEENS, are small booklets that can be created using a single sheet of paper. They are simple to make and reproduce and often combine words and images to narrate a story, making them a powerful tool for communication.

Over the past century, zines have been used by marginalized groups to publish stories and perspectives that were not covered in mainstream media, uniting people and serving as a strong community-building tool. The Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) is offering a workshop called “Intro to Zine-Making: Me, My People, & My City.” In this workshop, we’ll create zines that tell stories about connections to people around you and NYC. Teaching Artist will guide participants through a community-building activity, which will help them connect with other artists who respond to a series of prompts to reflect on their connection to people and place (How have my people and my city influenced who I am? How have I influenced my people and my city?).

The workshop is an excellent fit for those interested in storytelling and image-making (illustration, photography, collage). CUP will provide all the necessary art supplies for the participants. At the end of the workshop, each participant will create and share a one-page zine.

The exhibition, which Time Out New York has listed as one of the “best museum exhibitions in NYC right now” explores the fossil fuel industry’s history of racism and deception and spotlights the success of the environmental and climate justice movement in resisting and reversing the industry’s harms. Students will experience a mixture of art, learning, and climate action opportunities to help them engage in the fight for a climate-safe and just future.
