Zine-Workshop: Worky Worky

In the organizer's words:

What does work or unemployment mean to you? Do you enjoy your part-time lifestyle? Is there content in your work that you want to share with others? Can you imagine alternatives to our concept of work? And what about unpaid work? Make a zine out of your story!

We'll start with a short writing exercise to collect our thoughts on the topic of work. Then you will design your zine using beautiful old magazines, books and postcards. You are also welcome to bring your own material.

Along the way, I'll show you tips and tricks to make zine-making even more fun.

Very important: You don't have to know or prepare anything. Anyone can make zines. And they're best when they're imperfect :)

🩷 From the age of 14.

🩷 Duration: 3 hours. Please be on time because we do the writing exercise together right at the beginning.

🩷 English-speaking participants are also very welcome.

💖 Free of charge and without registration.

What is a zine?

"Zine" is the abbreviation for "magazine". It is a small booklet that is made by hand and can be easily reproduced and distributed.

The zine culture has its origins in the African-American Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. In the 1930s, the science fiction fan community flourished in zines. Zines then established themselves in the punk scene in the 70s, in the 80s they were a mouthpiece for AIDS awareness, in the 90s for feminism. To this day, they are a popular subculture medium for informing and entertaining others. In the workshop, Auntie Trash will show you a few examples so that you can get an idea of all the terms.
