Join an online discussion about zines and zine cultures. From making these DIY publications to facilitating zine-making workshops, online exhibitions, and researching zine practices, this is a chance to learn about zines from around the world.

We’ll start with a series of conversations between our host and speakers with practices that stretch across Hong Kong, Indonesia, Uganda and India. The speakers will then come together to explore their common experiences and differences.

Zines are often described as DIY publications, made in isolation, but the speakers will discuss the importance of collaboration, both locally and internationally. They’ll share their experiences of facilitating others in zine-making workshops, zine networks and working with different groups.

This event is related to ‘Zines Forever! DIY Publications and Disability Justice’, a display at Wellcome Collection in London, which looks at how zines have been used to share experiences of disability and disabled identity.

The event will have speech-to-text online, and audio described.
