Scissor Siblings is a social practice art workshop born in response to the Trump-era executive order aiming to narrowly define sex as strictly male or female—an attack on the legal recognition of trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse communities. In defiance of such erasure, this zine-making space invites participants to collectively create, network, and reclaim their narrative, building community through art.

Centering the lived experiences of QTPOC+ communities, the workshop uses collage, zines, and mixed-media to explore identity, challenge stigma, and honor the history of gender variance—especially within Latinx and Indigenous traditions.

Rooted in queer and collective futurity, Scissor Siblings is a brave space for imagining liberated worlds where gender fluidity and multiplicity are celebrated as we shred up gender norms. Participants are encouraged to bring collage materials to share with the collective.

This program is organized by Neta Zine and co-presented with Craft Contemporary as part of Circa: Queer Histories Festival 2025, presented by One Institute.
