In this workshop with local multimedia artist Sabrina Sims, we'll be making quirky art zines in the amazing Electric Zine Maker program. This "print shop and art tool," as its creator Nathalie Lawhead describes it, lets anyone make zines using inventive templates and glitchy image manipulation. Sabrina will guide participants through the basics of EZM, how to plan out a zine using prompts and tips for self publishing after we're done.
The EZM site should come with a seizure warning. CARDS will provide live captioning via Verbit.

This freeware is made with collaboration in mind." A speech bubble makes it look like a potato is the being quoted.](/sites/default/files/2021-11/blais-znz-ezmPotato.png)
