Head and Hands Sex Ed Zine Project Call Out for Submissions!!

Remember Sex Ed? Everybody has a story of wooden penises, condom jokes, STI villains and awkward silences. Some might even have vivid memories filled with clinical details of genital anatomy or a really hot sex ed teacher. Since sexual education mysteriously vanished with the 2005 educational reform, how will it be remembered? How will it be re-imagined? We want to know.

Purpose

This zine is meant to share stories and dialogues about sexuality & identity funneled through the education system. We want to see what happened during sex ed classes now that they aren’t happening anymore. Our mission is to create a space to re-imagine a curriculum that can handle the ambiguity of sex, identity and power.

Your contribution will further Head andHands/À deux mains’ Sense Project which aims to provide high school students with youth-friendly, comprehensive and peer-based sexual education. Help it grow by submitting your art and stories, making a donation or becoming a volunteer!
