Colloid: A Trans Girl’s Manifesto of Analog Filmmaking and Liberation

Friday, March 28, 2025
1:00–4:00pm EST
In Person
Tranzac Club
180 min.

This is Not Going Away is a zine making workshop and conversation about the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on queer, chronically ill and disabled communities in 2025. With the onus of public health education, community protection, and self-preservation almost entirely placed on those who are most affected and disenfranchised by the continued dangers of COVID-19, and in increasing amounts of isolation and sickness, how can we join forces to support each other in ways both material and emotional? This workshop is a space of individuals to share their experiences and collectively brainstorm ways forward together, while contributing to a collective zine. This workshop is for sick and disabled queers and our friends, those of us who are not afraid to keep talking about the reality of COVID-19, and anyone who would like to join back in the conversation after having stepped away from it.

Facilitator
Cat C. Haines

Cat C. Haines’ practice is deeply political; and the academic, activist, and artistic practices she undertakes are inseparable from, and inform one another. In everything she does, she strives to embody and forward an ethics of trans liberation, which is more important than ever in the time and place she practices. Through her work, and like écrituré feminine, she creates spaces, with love—and with loving force when necessary—for trans women, their bodies, sexualities, and experiences to exist unapologetically.
