Zine Workshop for Educators

Founded in 1999, Booklyn is an artist-run, non-profit, artist and bookmakers organization headquartered in the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.Booklyn supports artists and organizations committed to environmental and social justice. We work towards this by documenting, exhibiting, promoting, and distributing their work within educational institutions worldwide. We envision a world in which art and bookmaking are tools for education, personal agency, community engagement, and activism.

Booklyn

Over the course of five workshops, teachers, teacher-librarians, artists and zinesters will come together to reflect, make art, write, and learn zine-making techniques. Teachers and teacher-librarians new to zine-making are encouraged to attend. By the end of the series, teachers will create and publish one zine and will be able to bring zine-making to their classrooms.
In this workshop we will:
- Create zines that facilitate reflection, art-making and writing on teaching practice. - Provide hands-on programming to teachers on how to facilitate zine-making in their classrooms. - Bring the history and practice of zine creation to public school classrooms across New York City.
