Join us this Friday for our Photopoetry Zine-Making Workshop, led by Aey Sal and Jackson Bailey!
This two-part workshop blends photography and poetry to explore what it means to live in a queer body. Through visual and written prompts, you'll have the opportunity to reflect, create, and collaborate on themes of identity, connection, and liberation.
👉 Select and work with images—bring your own or choose from provided materials.
👉 Explore the written connections through poetry, prose, or free writing.
👉 Combine image and text to create your own one-page zine.
This workshop invites you to reflect on how we see ourselves and each other, holding space for our unique materiality as a gateway for connection and liberation.
Participants are encouraged to bring visual materials (photos, magazines, posters, etc.) that they feel comfortable cutting up. Alternatively, a wide variety of materials will be provided.

Meet Aey Sal and Jackson Bailey!
Aey Sal (they/them) is a queer writer based in Tkaronto. Their writing explores themes of displacement, migration, diasporic exiles/experiences, and embodying queer identities. They work with various forms of writing, such as poetry, creative non-fiction, scriptwriting, and short stories, and aim to explore what it means to employ language towards liberation and liberatory visions of our world.
Jackson Bailey (they/them) is a trans non-binary lens-based artist and educator currently based in Tkaronto. Their artwork uses analog and experimental photography, printmaking, installation, and text to explore themes of identity, trauma, belonging, and loss. Jackson continues to do work in community arts as an art educator who supports 2SLGBTQIA+ youth.
