Germantown Zine Workshops (September)

For the next few months, the Germantown Info Hub is happy to host zine-making workshops where neighbors can learn a simple but powerful form of storytelling with ordinary materials that you may have lying around your home.

These workshops will blend art, memory, journalism, and narrative to explore community history, create visions for the future, and explore our personal utopias. We will do this by examining the theme of If Spaces Could Talk…, where we invite neighbors to recall, rejoice, and fellowship in the memories of buildings, landmarks, parks and playgrounds, and other spaces that have meant the most to them in Germantown.

Throughout six engaging sessions, we’ll come together, delve into crafts, and foster dialogue about the places and spaces that have shaped Germantown into the community it is today.

These workshops will also serve as listening sessions that will help inform what we use in our soon-to-come updated Germantown Zine, which will also follow our If Buildings Could Talk… theme.

We invite you to use the QR code below or this link to make your recommendations about spaces and places you think should be explored for our upcoming Germantown Zine.
