Zine-making with Natalia Novia (in Spanish language) 

ESTE TALLER SE REALIZARÁ EN ESPAÑOL. Únete a la artista de fanzines y productora de animación, la argentina Natalia Novia, mientras habla sobre los conceptos básicos para hacer que tu arte dialogue de manera cautivante. Natalia es parte de la vibrante escena editorial indie en Buenos Aires y está de visita en Seattle como invitada del Short Run Comix and Arts Festival. Este taller te ayudará a comprender cómo un guión gráfico puede aumentar su tensión y el misterio de manera lúdica y experimental. Hablará sobre cómo crear fanzines con grapas, dobles, costura o publicación digital. Saldrás del taller con nuevas ideas y la confianza de crear tus propias historias, y así, tu arte podrá florecer en la cultura de los fanzines de Seattle.
 
Natalia Novia se presenta con el apoyo de Entre Ríos Books, Short Run y Seattle Escribe.
 
THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE CONDUCTED IN SPANISH.

Natalia is part of the vibrant DIY publishing scene in Buenos Aires and is visiting Seattle as a guest of the Short Run Comix and Arts Festival. This workshop will help you understand how visual storyboarding increases tension and play. She will discuss how zines are created with simple staples, folding, sewing, or digital publishing.
