Zines Will Save the World: Discussion and Workshop

The first section of this event will focus on how and why zines are a source for marginalised, queer, and radical individuals and communities to speak to one another. It will explore the history of zines and how they continue to be a crucial tool for such communities. The discussion will be led by people who create zines for a wide range of audiences. The second section of the event will be an opportunity for participants to make their own zine. We will have all the tools required, but if you have materials you would like to work with, please bring them along; otherwise, you simply need to bring ideas on what you would like to make or what stories you would like to tell.
