Graphic Content: Transforming Sex Education with Comics/ Free Zine Workshop

As part of the Five College Women’s Research Center’s “Mediating Public Spheres: Genealogies of Feminist Knowledge in the Digital Age” Hampshire College Library is hosting a zine workshop 

Saiya Mller, the coeditor of Not Your Mother´s Meatloaf, A Sex Education Comic Book will discuss the importance of creating spaces where marginalized experiences of sexuality and often silenced realities of sexual health can be visible, both in the material and digital worlds. The workshop will address the unique opportunities that comics provide as tools in an educational setting, as well as the inherently complicated questions of positionality, aesthetics, and censorship that arise during this work. Participants will create a collaborative comic project and discuss examples of other comics and zines that deal with sex, sexual health, gender, and sexuality.
