Zines don’t always have to be shared with others: sometimes zines can be personal archives of our growth. This hands-on workshop, led by 2025 Eros Fellow Musu Bangura, will guide you step-by-step on making your own affirmation mini zine. Participants are encouraged to bring personal archival materials (old journals, letters, keepsakes, magazine/newspaper clippings, etc) to include in their zines. Craft supplies will be provided. Each participant will leave with their own mini zine filled with personal affirmations and love letters to self.
