Introduction
✂️ A zine is a small handmade booklet. It is a crucial component of DIY-culture (Do It Yourself). Zines are self-published, small circulation, non-commercial scraps of paper that can be turned into fun.
If you have never dared making a zine yourself, never heard of it, or maybe if you have been a long-time zinesters (zine makers), then this workshop is for you! No experience or any skills needed, and we will be exploring our imaginations and go on a creative journey together. Focusing on zines as queer and decolonizing tools, this workshop is all about crafting connections and expression.
