Division G Fireside Chat: Zine Making with The Queer Migrants of Color Archive

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The Queer Migrants of Color (QMOC) Archive, is an arts-based, social design experiment and pilot study supported by the Anti-Racist Digital Research Initiative (ARDRI) at the University of Michigan. Rooted in abolitionist and decolonial traditions, the project explores zine-making as a method of resistance, reflection, and radical knowledge production among queer migrants of color and international students at a predominantly white institution (PWI). The centerpiece of this work is a zine-making workshop that creates a fugitive learning ecology where participants come together to engage in critical dialogue, hands-on art-making, and storytelling. Attendees will be learn about this work while reflecting on identity, resistance, and belonging and how they might be able to use zines in their own work.
