Zine Workshop hosted by Phuong, 27th of October 3-5pm

In this 2 hour workshop we will take the time to explore our creativity.

Zines (short for „Magazine”) historically come from queer feminist movements with the approach to share knowledge to people within marginalised communities that wasn’t equally accessible to everybody.

Nowadays, even though zines have become more mainstream, they have been an enormous part of underground and non-commercial publication. They are self-published or published by a small, independent artist; self-made, non-mass-produced and sold within a sliding scale and or shared and exchanged within marginalized communities. Zines can feature poetry, art, collage, politics, interviews, comics, and more.

We will start with a short introduction round where I will share some zines by other queer BiPoC zinemakers for inspiration. After that we will take the rest of the time to collectively explore the potential of our own creativity by making a zine together.

You are free to decide whether you want to participate or to go with your own pace.

At the end, we can copy your zines and share them among us.

We will provide paper, pens, etc. but please bring your own materials such as

newspaper, non-used papers, your favorite pens and stickers, etc.

This space is for BiPoC queers.

No knowledge or experience needed, only your curiosity, patience, ideas and visions!

The workshop will be either held in English or German or a mixed of both.

Phuong (they/them) is a zinemaker for 2 years now. What started as fun and out of curiosity, zines turnt out to be one of the main creative tools for them.
