Artist and educator, Katie Quan, invites you to dive into the world of zine making! For decades, zines (pronounced “zeen”) have played a vital role in movements and community building. Katie will introduce the role they played in her own life as she also sprinkles family stories and history along the way. By the end of the program, you will have the opportunity to create your own radical zine to bring home and share!

Biography:

Katie Quan (she/her), a third-generation Chinese American born and raised on Ramaytush Ohlone land (San Francisco), is an artist, community advocate, curator, storyteller, and educator. Her work dives into the complexities of Asian America, addressing themes like self-identity, mental health, and family. As the Executive Director and founder of REALSOUL, a curriculum-based arts organization, Katie strives to make BIPOC stories accessible through intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches. In 2023, she was selected for the Youth Speaks and California Arts Council’s Individual Artist Fellowship. In her free time, you can find her drawing, bouldering, or swatting gnats away from her indoor plants.

REALSOUL is a curriculum-based arts organization, founded in San Francisco. We develop creative offerings that shed light on the intersectional stories of Asian America and other BIPOC communities. We believe learning doesn’t stop in the classrooms, but continues in workplaces, living rooms, around campfires, and beyond. Learn more about our work at: www.realsoul.us.
