This is the second event in the  “Folding Identity” Event series,  which aims to put AAPI DMV  zinesters, faculty, and the UMD community in conversation and collaboration.  Look forward to more events this year, plus a UMD AAPI community  zine that attendants will create together over our sessions! All students are welcome!

Featured guests: 

Linda Kuo (she/her) is DC-based artist making  comics, zines, and illustrations while  facilitating workshops in bookbinding,  zine-making, and creative healing. Her  work is informed by her scholarship in  science and Chinese art. @buppletea

Jess/Xin (any pronouns) is a graphic designer, illustra- tor, printmaker, and zinester in Baltimore  whose work is focused on abolition and anti- imperialism. They love punk & experimental  music, diy art practices, playing with printers,  and a nice cup of oolong tea. @panstarri

Shreya/shurjo mukhi is an artist hoping to always create and reima- gine with community—to use art to manifest  authentic loves and ways of being in real and  dream worlds. They use colors, textures, and a  mix of media to facilitate containers of space  to reflect and grow. @gentlesuns
