Remembering the Cloth: Of Zines and Stories of Myanmar

Step into a vibrant exchange of stories, images and voices from Myanmar through the dynamic world of zines. Pearl has been collecting zines and working with the migrant communities in Singapore to create theirs. In this session, Pearl will unpack personal, yet powerful, narratives drawn from her growing zine library.

In this interactive session, participants are invited to join our zine jamming, experimenting with collage, text and textile (of course) to create their own zines. Come to explore, express and transform your story into a uniquely yours publication!
