A no messing around guide to the coolest things to eat, drink and do in Vancouver and beyond. Community. Not clickbait.

Head to East Van for Some Community-Minded DIY Fun and Discussion, June 9th

Via @anartchists.

On Sunday, June 9th, the James Black Gallery is hosting Vancouver-based art/community collective, Anartchists, for a punk-as-f*uck zine-making workshop in support of Palestine. You should definitely go!

The one-evening-only two-hour-long workshop (7-9pm), led by Anartchist team member Cassandra, is totally free and open to the public. One and all are invited to pack up your magazines, stamps and other shareable zine-making art supplies and miscellanea – as well as snacks (optional, but a nice addition to the community activity!) – and head down to the iconic East 6th gallery for some socially conscious crafty times. Besides channeling some creative energy and getting in touch with your DIY side, the event is also “an opportunity for you to get informed, take steps towards helping in the ways that we can, ask questions, engage in discussion, and also find some warmth and solace in community. Bring your grief, bring your rage, bring your love and bring your dreams for a better world. Bring it all.” Dig it.

To take part, simply sign up here. Then rustle up as many cool folks in your social circle(s) to join as you can – but hurry, because space is limited!
