Dreamzine Workshop: Korean Film Festival Canada (KFFC)

In partnership with the Sociability of Sleep and the 11th Korean Film Festival Canada 2024, we will hold a Dreamzine workshop at Ada X! This is a workshop facilitated by artist Jenny Lin, where they will be sharing dream recall, writing, drawing and editing strategies that they used to create their “Pandemic Dreams” comic series. This workshop includes hands-on zine-making activities, as well as short writing and drawing exercises intended to activate the zine structures into platforms for our dreams. No prior experience is required to attend this free workshop! Artist Bio: Jenny Lin (they / them / she / her) is a visual artist based in Tiohtià :ke / Mooniyang / Montreal. Working with experimental narrative and autobiographical fiction primarily in the form of print-based installations, artists’ books and zines, Lin is drawn to the socio-political, accessible and community-based aspects of print and zine-making, self-publishing and self-distribution. Lin uses drawing and text to process life experience and current events. They have collaborated with Eloisa Aquino as B&D Press, a queer art and micropress project, since 2009. The 11th KFFC is supported by Social Science and Humanity Research Councils in partnership with the Sociability of Sleep Project of the Moving Image Research Lab (MIRL) at McGill University, Centre d’études asiatiques (CÉTASE: Asian studies center) of l’Université de Montréal, Ada X, Dazibao, Cinéma Moderne, and many of the Korean community groups in Montréal.
