About the session: A zine, short for ‘magazine’, is a small, self-published booklet on any topic of the makers choosing. They are transgressive in nature and inextricably linked to LGBTQIA+ movements and counter culture. With prompts to help you get started, and plenty of materials to spark your imagination, participants will be supported to make a personal zine in a warm and inclusive group environment.

This is a series of four workshops. It is suggested that participants attend all four sessions, but you may also register for whichever sessions you'd like to attend.
