thirdspace call for submissions!

Thirdspace is an anti-racist, feminist zine that is produced through the Women's Publication Network.This year's topic for Thirdspace is Re-Imagining the Future. We strongly believe that the future cannot be defined through a single vision. It is through multiple visions, always overlapping and contradictory, that the future can become tangible. Therefore, YOUR submissions will shape this zine. We encourage you to send in your thoughts on how you re-imagine the future. All forms of expression are welcome; rants, poetry, photography, recipes, artwork, quotes, creative writing, non-fiction writing, etc.

Some ideas for submission can be experiences of activism, accounts of change (big or small; individual or local), linking past to future, inspirations for action...whatever you want the future to look like!

Please send your submissions to Julie and Kristy at: thirdspace.zine@gmail.com or
Box 3035

Workshops- We are currently in the process of planning workshops for the upcoming year, so if you have an interest that you'd like to share or anything that you would like to organize with the Women's Centre, stop by or send us an e-mail to let us know!

Collective Meetings- This fall we will continue to host regular collective meetings on a monthly basis, so anyone who is interested in making their voice heard please come and join us, whether you've been a part of the collective before or not.

The Women's Centre is run by a collective of self identified women students and community members. Collective meetings are based on Consensus. The Simon Fraser University Public Interest Research Group has a really great leaflet on Consensus, which can be found here under Consensus Decision Making.
