Zines (rhymes with “beans”) are low-barrier, low-budget photocopied publications in which authors are in full control of the entire publication process, from art and layout to printing and distribution. They allow access to the ideas, expressions, perspectives, and experiences of those who create them! In times of strife, zines offer a cathartic art form to create and share stories of lived experiences and play a large role in communication for members of social and political movements.
Come learn some basic book structures, how to reproduce your creations, and multimedia techniques in this open space for freeform creative expression. If you dream of making things to share with others or just venting in art form, this is the place for you!
