Join the BU Office for the Arts for an evening of zine-making and recipe sharing in this zine workshop led by artist in residence, Mariah-Rose Marie. Food will be provided. Open to the BU community and the public, but registration is required as spots are limited.

In a time of book bans, blacklistings, and widespread defunding of cultural institutions, the power of art-making is not to be underestimated. Like recipes, zines are archives for personal and collective history. Come combine the power of both with Mariah-Rose Marie, the author and artist behind COOK LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS, where we’ll draw, collage, and write our way through the process of turning a recipe into a recording of your world as it is now. You’ll leave with a mini zine for you to reproduce, trade, and share as you wish, no algorithm or government approval required. All materials provided. Just bring a recipe* you’d like to remember.

Mariah-Rose Marie is a graphic novelist, story artist, educator, and writer based in Tovaangar, aka Los Ángeles. Their comic, illustration, and storyboard work can be seen anywhere from Netflix and HBO Max to The New Yorker, Science for the People Magazine, EATER, and the multi-award winning graphic journalism magazine, The Nib. Always with empathy (and often with humor) Mariah-Rose interweaves the individual and the global through stories that reach across political borders and personal identity.

Presented by Boston University Office for the Arts, co-sponsored by Boston University School of Visual Arts' Visual Narrative program, and BU Food Studies Program.
