Calling all teens! In this workshop, hosted during the 2024 Pittsburgh Art Book Fair, we will learn about zines and how they are tools for self expression, collective dreaming, and community organizing.

Zines have played a significant role throughout history. This workshop argues that zines are critical and artful tools that can be used for many different reasons. By the end of the workshop, participants will make a zine featuring a dreamy recipe to share with their community, like a recipe for care, joy, protection, or organizing.

About the Artist

Neta Bomani is a learner and educator who is interested in understanding the practice of reading and parsing information as a collaborative process between human and non-human
computers. Neta’s work combines social practices, workshops, archives, oral histories, computation, printmaking, zines, and publishing, to create artifacts that engage abolitionist,
black feminist, and do-it-yourself philosophies. Neta received a graduate degree in interactive telecommunications from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Neta has taught at
the School for Poetic Computation, The New School, New York University, Princeton University, the University of Texas, and in the after school program at P.S. 15 Magnet School of the Arts in Brooklyn, NY. Neta has studied under American Artist, Fred Moten, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Mariame Kaba, Ruha Benjamin, Simone Browne, and many others who inform Neta’s work.

Neta’s work has appeared at the Brooklyn Museum, Queens Museum, the Barnard Zine Library, The Kitchen, and the Met Library. Neta is one of three co-directors at the School for Poetic Computation, and one of two co-directors at Sojourners for Justice Press, an imprint of
Haymarket Books.
