Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope: A Zine Project is a creative and healing campaign uplifting the talents and processes of queer and trans disabled/neurodivergent artists of color. The project will feature a magazine showcasing at least 20 works across diverse mediums—including poetry, short stories, essays, photography, collage, painting, drawings, sculpture, and graphic design.
In addition to the zine, Kaleidoscope will offer creative workshops designed as safer spaces for artists to connect, share experiences, and support one another through reciprocal mentoring. These workshops foster community while exploring sustainable creative practices, celebrating both the struggles and triumphs of the artistic journey.
