SICK circle zine PDF

SICK circle: an exploration of repair and renewal from chronically ill & disabled perspectives

34 pages, digital PDF

This zine contains images, quotes, and conversation from an event that took place in Portland, Maine in June 2025. Ten folks gathered with garments in need of repair and took part in a mending circle led by Maya Skylark. We discussed our own experiences with chronic illness, touching on themes such as mending our own bodies, visibility, friendships, community, rest, productivity, and more.

Workshop participants: Kate Horowitz / Emma Raine Maasch / Lucy Pearl Stafford / Kathryn Cantrell / Amelia Bodge / Avery Carlisle / Veritie Howard / Emma Payton Cooper

Zine design by Olivia Spring & Maya Skylark
Hosted by Maine Clay Collaborative
