Come and find out more about zines, explore the ZIG/ZAG/ZINES collection (which includes lots of handmade/printed zines made by various independent creators from around the world, all related to neurodiversity, disability, and mental health), and have a go at making your own!
All materials/instructions will be provided.

*Zines (pronounced “zeens”) are independently produced, low/no-cost DIY publications. They can be about any subject and created in any style, typically within a format that allows fast, simple reproduction and small-scale distribution. They may be informative, creative, and/or subversive, and are often used by people from socially marginalised groups and communities to record and share ideas and stories.
