ABOUT: This camp is focused on the practical and impractical lessons in zine making from two queer archivists; Buck and Blue. The history of zine making is rich and deep, and Portland is one of the best places to learn about it in the country. We bring together movements, anecdotes, moments and materials influenced by and explored within zines. We find it important to share the multifaceted cultural context behind zine making, and our experience in the local scene and enthusiasm for alternative perspectives means we're excited to give youths the means to create their own context and meaning within what they want to generate already. Art and writing can both be avenues to explore concepts that might be discouraged under a regime with an agenda. We want to create space for new thoughts and new zines, always.
INSTRUCTOR BIOS: Blue Jaye Corvidae-Schulte (they/he) is a 27-year-old white, disabled, queer trans multiple and transdisciplinary performing artist. Inspired by 80's-90's AIDS era queer culture like the Radical Faeries and STAAR, their work centers queer-trans space-making and storytelling as methods of intergenerational archiving of alternative imaginations and methods of survival theoretically rooted in phenomenology, quantum entanglement, astrophysics, neurolinguistics, neuroaesthetics, trauma-informed somatics, and affect theory.
Shaped by the constraints of his disability and attempting to work with their body instead of against it, Blue's primary motivator as an artist is to feel free in body, mind, and spirit. To reclaim one’s time in the midst of struggle is a radical act of re-imagining existence. Currently Blue lives and works out of so-called ‘Portland’ with their partner, and cat, Shinji.
Robert Corvidae-Schulte, also known as buck (he/him), is an artist from portland. In a few of their words, "It was through zines that I was able to piece together my selfhood and autonomy nearly twenty years ago, when I was afforded the opportunity to be part of the gone but not forgotten defunct Stumptown Underground zine. Through participation in this anthology during my pre teenage years, I came to understand what a creative community could mean for my future (Growing together and sharing knowledge are significant here). In a city that both celebrates strangeness and punishes nonconformity, this was everything to me. I'm just here to see that another young person is given the info and the tools to be as profoundly impacted and empowered as I was.
