subVersion Summer Camp is a Do-It-Together series of gatherings and calls to action! MOST PROGRAMS EVENTS and MEALS are FREE TO THE PUBLIC. To help fund the camp you can donate and become a Camper and pin for $25, or become a Parent of a Camper for $100. ( or make yer donation at Co-Prosperity)
We have invited artists, educators, musicians, filmmakers, activists, designers, and workers of all stripes to converge in Chicago this summer to help us make posters, music, t-shirts and merit badges while we make friends, comrades, and plans. Let’s make camp.
Join us in Bridgeport, the Community of the Future (and beyond), for ten days of camaraderie, fun and resistance to the spread of fascist culture. subVersion Summer Camp will foster collective re-education through public conversations, workshops, classes and happenings. We’ll present a broad range of creative forms of protest, and participants will be able to choose their own solidarity adventure… kickball or tag, puppets or banners, ballots or stink bombs? Schedule is below.
Full schedule available here

Zines of Revolution: Displaced Voices and Reclaiming Home – 3:30pm – 5:00 pm
Hosted by: Maco Soto, Melanie Diaz, & Spencer Harrigan
@ Research House for Asian Art • 3217 S. Morgan St
This workshop is an immersive workshop designed to empower participants to reclaim and amplify their narratives through the radical medium of zine-making. It begins by delving into a brief subversive history of zines, highlighting their role as a DIY, anti-establishment platform for marginalized voices and counter-narratives. We will then explore examples of zines and center around addressing the theme of one’s sense of “home.” We will discuss migration, immigration, and diaspora, demonstrating how personal stories become acts of resistance and community-building against dominant, often dehumanizing, portrayals. Finally, participants will be guided through a hands-on zine creation session, encouraged to translate their own unique journeys of home, displacement, and belonging into tangible, self-published acts of revolutionary truth-telling.

Sobre las olas – 4:00PM – 6:00 PM
Hosted by: Contratiempo: Juanjose Rivas
@ Co-Prosperity • 3219 S Morgan St
El sonido es un fantasma: viaja, se filtra, transforma y se disuelve. Lo que heredamos no siempre hace ruido, pero nos atraviesa. A veces canta como una melodía olvidada en una feria. Este taller invita a les estudiantes a sumergirse en la arqueología íntima de sus propias herencias sonoras. A través de la escucha expandida, la apropiación, la escritura y la composición espontánea, construiremos un paisaje sonoro compartido compuesto de migraciones, ruidos, genealogías fracturadas y armonías inconclusas.
