A Personal Journey Zine Workshop
A Personal Journey Zine Workshop · 一场关于来路的 Zine 工作坊
How did you get here?
Maybe you crossed an ocean. Maybe you moved just a few blocks away. Maybe you've lived in the same city your whole life, yet somehow found yourself somewhere entirely different.
There are places we've left behind, people we've met along the way, accidents that changed everything, and decisions we didn't know would matter so much.
Sometimes, we don't even know how we got here until we begin telling the story.
🌿 In this hands-on zine workshop, we'll explore our personal journeys through memory, maps, writing, drawing, and collage.
You'll create a small zine about the paths that brought you to where you are today — geographically, emotionally, or otherwise.
You might:
Draw a map of all the places you've called home.
Write about a seemingly insignificant decision that changed your life.
Trace the people, objects, and memories you've carried with you.
Imagine a conversation between your past and present selves.
Make a guidebook to a place that no longer exists.
There is no right way to tell your story, and no need for it to have a clear beginning or ending.
What brought you here? What did you leave behind? What have you found along the way?
Come make a little book about the journey that brought you here.

我是怎么来到这里的？
你是怎么来到这里的？
也许你跨越了一整片海洋，也许你只是搬到了几条街以外。也许你从未离开过出生的城市，却在不知不觉中，走到了一个完全不同的地方。
那些离开过的地方、途中遇见的人、改变了一切的偶然，还有当时并不知道会如此重要的决定。
有时候，直到我们开始讲述，才慢慢意识到自己是如何来到这里的。
🌿 在这场 Zine 小志工作坊中，我们将通过地图、文字、绘画与拼贴，重新寻找自己走过的路。
你将制作一本关于自己来路的小志。这里的「来路」，可以是地理上的迁徙，也可以是情感、身份与人生经历中的变化。
你可以：
画一张属于自己的迁徙地图，记录所有曾经称之为家的地方。
写下一个看似微不足道、却改变了人生的小小决定。
记录一路上遇见的人、随身携带的物品与记忆。
想象过去的自己与现在的自己展开一场对话。
