Tiger Salmon's Zine Writing Workshop
Tuesday 13 October, 6pm to 8pm Passionfruit Sensuality Shop, Upstairs, 414 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC AUST Inspired by the politically unruly spirit of Wicked Women magazine, this hands-on zine workshop is an invitation to make your own queer noise. Tiger Salmon kicks things off with a powerpoint talk about the magazine’s sex-positive history: dykes, kinksters, leather queens, femmes, butches, rebels, troublemakers and all the glorious misfits determined to strut their stuff. Then grab the scissors, glue, textas and stapler. Make your own queer propaganda. It can be about sex, desire, gender, kink, politics, pleasure or whatever else needs saying. No permission. No polish. No publishing experience required.
