Christopher Furniss champions zines as soulful, scrappy tools for self-expression, burnout recovery, and community revival.

Artist, illustrator, and game designer Christopher Furniss invites us to reimagine creativity through the lens of zine-making. In a world overwhelmed by burnout and perfectionism, Christopher shares how zines—DIY, raw, and radically accessible—can spark joy, encourage authenticity, and build community. This talk isn’t just about paper and pens; it’s about reclaiming your voice, celebrating imperfection, and finding power in small acts of creation. Whether you’re feeling stuck or simply curious, this zine-filled session will remind you that doing something—anything—can be a powerful, human act.
