Zine WORKSHOP
Learn about zine making from local artists and work on a community collaboration! Artists Kim Edgar and Andy Pelletier will facilitate this workshop, giving tips and lessons throughout the event. Add a page to the "Northern Queer Survival Guide" and craft the evening away with fellow northern queers. Once completed, we'll reproduce the zine and everyone will get a copy!

Kimberly Edgar is a queer white settler living on Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory in the subarctic town of Dawson City, Yukon. An artist, cartoonist, illustrator, and designer, Kim is also chronically ill and uses comics to reflect on their experiences of both the medical system and the ennui that comes with being sick with no end. Their works have been nominated multiple times for Best Comic with the Broken Pencil Zine Award, and in 2019 they won that award for their comic The Purpose. They recently had one piece acquired by the Yukon Permanent Art Collection, and two pieces acquired by the Ottawa Direct Purchase program.
