FUSA presents
Two free zine workshops for Flinders students
Create a zine exploring lived experience, identity and storytelling, with disabled and neurodivergent students centred and all Flinders students welcome.
The workshops are designed around empowerment, accessibility and care, with no previous art, writing or zine-making experience required.
Supported by Medibank through the Flinders Community Grants program.
About the project
Reclaim the page
These workshops invite students with disability and/or neurodiversity to create zines that explore their stories, lived experience and identities.
Zine-making offers a flexible, low-pressure way to write, draw, cut, paste, collage and communicate on your own terms. You can participate in whatever way feels right for you, and you do not need previous creative experience.
The project has a strong storytelling and self-expression focus through an equity lens. Disabled and neurodivergent students are centred, while all currently enrolled Flinders students are welcome to take part.
This student-led project is supported by FUSA and funded by Medibank through the Flinders Community Grants program.
“As a person with disability, the only time you see a piece of paper is something another person has written about you. This is a way to reclaim that.”Sudhashree, student project driver
