Anti-colonial Shit-Talking Zine Party with Laura Grier
Join artist Laura Grier for an Anti-colonial Shit-Talking Zine Party.
Talk shit and carry a sharp pair of scissors!
In this workshop participants will shit-talk and collage to produce anti-colonialist zines. Collage materials will be provided but feel free to bring things that belong on the chopping block.
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
This workshop is part of To pick up the pieces, an exhibition at Whippersnapper Gallery curated by Guidance Council featuring Golboo Amani, Kristi Chen, Laura Grier and Khadijah Morley that reflects upon collective grief and what emerges from its aftermath.
The exhibition runs September 1-26, 2026. More details at whippersnapper.ca
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
To pick up the pieces is supported by Collective Collective, a project between eight visual arts collectives with majority racialized membership. As a response to the systemic racism and exploitative labour conditions in the arts, as well as the interrelated lack of sustainability within the sector, we are testing out organizational and curatorial practices that centre values of collectivity, solidarity, and mutual aid through resource and labour sharing.
