"Zines for Liberation" is a hands-on workshop which will explore the power of zines as tools for protest, abolition, and liberation. Under the guidance of local artist Tyasha/Ty Pace, participants will learn about the history of zines in social justice movements, create their own zines, and engage in a discussion featuring works by incarcerated zine creators. Through art and storytelling, you will discover how to share their stories, challenge oppression, and envision a world beyond prisons.
Tyasha/Ty Pace is a Connecticut-based liberation artist, radical archivist, independent researcher, and caretaker of the Break the System Radical Archive. Tyasha’s work bridges art, memory, and social movements to build towards collective liberation. Using community organizing, zines, paper arts, digital design, and public installation they explore themes of anti-oppression, resistance and systemic healing, reflecting a deep commitment to transformative justice. Their multidisciplinary practice invites communities to reimagine the world through shared stories, abolitionist visions, and mutual care.
