Zine Workshops
Zines are self-produced, small circulation publications. Their history is one of radical publishing which flourished within many marginalised communities and established new publics for art, music, and counter-cultural thinking.
My hands-on, practical sessions introduce participants to zine production as a way of communicating knowledge, expressing creativity and archiving alternative worlds. I will show participants how to produce a beginner-friendly one-sheet zine and present the history of the form.

A zine is a small, self-published or handmade booklet that nurtures radical action. They can be an artwork, an act of documentation or an educational resource — but crucially they are anything you want it to be. The designation ‘zine’ signifies less about the content of the publication than it indicates its existence outside of mainstream publishing channels. For hundreds of years, zines have served underrepresented communities, uplifting the voices of those most frequently dismissed.
