Abstract

In this essay, a zine-making workshop facilitated by the collective Incidental Unit as part of the CICC School provides a point of departure for observations on the convivial space that emerges in the process of making and embodied creation with others, as well as on how non-linear narrative can be mobilised to articulate the complex navigations and fractures of queer migrant identity, and their wider political significance.
