Zine-making workshop 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 by Aliaa Kurdi @aliaa___withadoublea

🗓 Saturday, August 23
🕓 16:00–18:00
📍 Floating University Berlin
Lilienthalstraße 32 10965 Berlin

A moment of remembering, forgiving, and honoring through poetry and craft. In this workshop, we will create zines about our relationship to one or both of our grandmothers. Whether this connection was soft, harsh, or absent, this is a space to retrace and reshape the thread that ties us to our ancestors.

The zines will be bound with safety pins and crafted from paper and fabric that can be embroidered, a practice many inherit from their grandmothers.

What to Bring:
✦ Anything that connects you to your lineage, whether it’s a physical heirloom or your own interpretation
✦ Optional: materials to include or use as inspiration for your zine, such as a family photograph or a piece of embroidery

A registration is required to participate in this workshop. Please find the link attached on the bio.

About Aliaa Kurdi:
Aliaa is a Saudi multidisciplinary artist and writer working across ceramics, photography, painting, and poetry. Based between Jeddah and Berlin, her practice explores memory, migration, and the quiet rituals of everyday life, drawing on heritage crafts, overlooked narratives, and the absence of personal archives. She merges text with visual work—embedding poetry into ceramics, illustrations, and textiles, or creating artist books to house her writing. Through layered, tactile forms, she investigates how we hold onto people, places, and traditions in a rapidly shifting world.

This episode is supported by Projektfonds Kulturförderung Friedrichshain Kreuzberg Berlin in collaboration with Queer Analog Darkroom, Aßila Beer and Floating e.V.
