✨Accessibility Futurisms through Zine-Making! ✨

When: Wednesday, February 19th, 2025 from 6 to 8 PM 

Where: Wonder’neath, 2482 Maynard Street, North End Kjipuktuk/ Halifax (In-Person). 

Come make some rad zines with us! 

We’ll be using zines as a container to imagine accessible queer futures by combining zine-making techniques with frameworks of disability justice, accessible futurisms, and queer futurity. Zines have been used as expressions for social issues since the beginning of their existence. As such, the nature of zine-making blends well into topics of disability justice, accessible futurisms, and queer futurity.  

This event is a closed space for 2SLGBTQIAP+ Disabled youth between the ages of 14 to 25. Self-IDing is more than enough to access this space/ you don’t need a formal diagnosis. This program is also a masks required event. 

This program is the first public program of Youth Project’s Accessibility Futurisms project funded by Accessibility Standards Canada. We’ll be having more programs through this grant project, so be sure to keep an eye out. 

This event is free, masked, wheelchair accessible, and will have ASL interpretation. There will also be a low sensory room, and air purifiers onsite and Youth Project will be providing snacks and stim toys. Wonder’neath/ @wonderneath has a detailed access guide which you can find via the provided link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YZ_kwlMHohsC4yPBzZm6lhvE9rIN2WcF7-RRSDBFYko/edit

Queer Creatives Space/ @queercreativesspace will also be partnering with the Youth Project/ @nsyouthproject to make this event possible through art materials, tools, and other resources.
