📖 Bookbinding Workshop 📖

We're currently contacting folks on the waitlist! Please email [email protected] to be added to the waitlist.

This free event is open to queer and trans youth aged 16-29. Learn the basics of coptic bookbinding with Hân Phạm @hantopiaaa! We'll be making our own notebook to bring home. All supplies will be provided. You're welcome to bring any prints, fabric, or other materials you'd like to use as a book cover.

About the artist: Hân Phạm is an emerging Vietnamese artist, filmmaker, editor from Saigon, Vietnam. Experimenting with filmic and sonic experience and their haptic time/space structure, their works think through the ephemerality of memory, language and history in relation to the constantly changing landscapes, rooting in the betweenness of distance as space for reflection. Hân has exhibited at UNIT/PITT gallery, Massey Art Gallery, Vancouver International Film Festival, DOXA Documentary Film Festival, Milwaukee Underground Film Festival, Vancouver Queer Film Festival, and Vines Arts Festival, as well as Mount Pleasant Community Art Screen. She is an alumni of Simon Fraser University's Film Program and the VIFF Mentorship Program.
