Writing The Body In Memoir: How To Work With What Our Bodies Know
"This Is Terrible, This Is Wonderful": Postpartum Zine Workshop
This event is over, it happened on
July 19, 2026 at Local Economy in Oakland, CA
This is Terrible, This is Wonderful author Rani Ban invites mothers and caretakers to take part in a collective act of creation: folding, stitching, writing, and decorating a low-fi poetry zine together. While fostering a community of parents, each attendee will leave with a small, hand-stitched and hand-written artifact of their own inner life. Rani will provide all necessary craft supplies, but anyone is welcome to bring more to share!
Rani Ban is a writer and artist based in the Hudson Valley, where she owns an art supply store called The Little Art Shop. She shares an old farmhouse with her partner, toddler, and a circus of rescue animals.
