Horrific creations are encouraged, but not required.

Special guest Katie Stebbins, an expert zine maker and Digital Projects Librarian at the Goddard Library, will provide a brief presentation and be available to offer insight to first-time zine makers!

Materials – old magazines, glue sticks, scissors, markers – will be provided but crafters are welcome to bring their own supplies as well. Trick or treat at our candy buffet between slicing and dicing.

Can beauty help people heal? Rebuild? Belong?

This three-part webinar series explores how beauty, art, and design intersect with neuroscience, dignity, and resilience—especially in contexts of displacement, housing insecurity, and humanitarian response. From refugee camps and post-disaster neighborhoods to communities painting their way back to belonging, this series reveals a radical truth: Beauty is not a luxury. Beauty is infrastructure.
