Miguel’s multidisciplinary practice centers on Midwestern Mexican-American experiences in industrial landscapes, using photography, print, and independent publishing to document collective history. In thisl two-hour session, Miguel brings their collaborative approach into the studio to explore how individual visual fragments can weave into a shared community narrative.

Together, we’ll assemble paper collages using a mix of personal and group ephemera, then pass our compositions through the Risograph flatbed scanner. As the Riso layers each contributor’s material into our printed surfaces, individual fragments will blend into a unified, collective zine.

Participants are strongly encouraged to bring flat visual materials like family photos, paper ephemera, or found clippings.

RSVP encouraged so we can plan accordingly — drop-ins are also welcome.
