About this Event

Please note: this event will be held in person. Masks are encouraged at this event.

A Madzine is a zine that challenges mainstream understandings about mental health. The Madzines team have amassed a fascinating, inspiring, informative, moving wealth of these publications over the past four years. Through trips to zine fairs, classrooms and community groups - in the UK and overseas - we've been helping Madzines move. As the project comes to an end, we're considering where and how to house the zines that we've collected (we'd welcome thoughts on that!). We're also keen to seed some Madzine libraries in other places.
A zine library can be anything from a fully catalogued collection in one fixed physical location to a shoebox under one's own bed. Join us from 6-8pm to hear about our main collection, our personal collections and the lessons we have learned. There will be opportunities to consider the many shapes a zine library can take, explore some ethical and practical issues that collecting raises and, if you'd like to, dream up a plan for your own library.

This relaxed session will enable you to meet others with an interest in mental health, mad knowledge and collection building.

CW: This event will touch on experiences of madness and distress and on responses to them. It will be a relaxed session, however, with a primary focus on collection building, opportunities to move around, and choice about when and how to engage.
Before the session: Madzines popup at GZL
If you would like to spend more time browsing our collection of Madzines, then come along to the Madzines library pop up session from 1-4pm, before the evening session. Hel, Jill and Tam will be there to greet you, and help you find your way around the collection.
