Fursonas: A Brief History and Art Jam

Saturday, February 8, 2025 | 10:00 AM—Noon | Somerville Library West Branch (Community Room) | 40 College Ave, Somerville, MA 02144

Join Fang, Feather, & Fin for a discussion of furry history and open art jam!

Chipper will talk about the history of the fursona, a tool of self-presentation that furries have been using to understand and represent themselves since the 1980s. Following that will be a group activity in which participants will discuss, share, and draw each other’s fursonas. If you don’t have a fursona, no worries; we’ll help you make one!

We will provide paper and pencils, but feel free to bring your own supplies (traditional or digital). All are welcome!
