all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

We will then move onto 'making' and sharing our zines and comic projects and some follow up resources on 'finishing' the zines even after the workshop ends!"

Queer Zest Zine Fest @queerzestzinefest.bsky.social · 18d

The first part of the workshop will start with introducing some relevant comic works to get some insights. This will be followed by a brainstorming and doodling session with some prompts to start thinking about their own zines / comic projects about Queerness and Food.

Because food is inherently both deeply personal and political, it sits at the intersection of so much discourse on power, gender, labour, caste, necessity, luxury and care.

The workshop participants will be sent some helpful reading material to get their juices going beforehand.

Queer Zest Zine Fest @queerzestzinefest.bsky.social · 18d

Food and stories involving it are a great medium for storytelling about NeuroQueerness because of the care, labour, love, appreciation, politics and power expressed through food.

Queer Zest Zine Fest @queerzestzinefest.bsky.social · 18d

The workshop addresses queerness that is not restricted to one’s gender or sexuality, but the broader understanding and use of the word as a verb to mean something that is subversive, at odds with everything around it, against the grain.
