Weirdo Zine Fest is a self-publishing fair celebrating DIY cultural production by radical and marginalised people. Weirdo Zine Fest has previously taken place in partnership with DIY Space for London, the National Trust and Leeds Libraries. This year we’re returning to London as part of Science Gallery London’s ON EDGE season to run an edition of the fair which focuses on zines exploring anxiety!

For this edition of the fair, preference for tables goes to anyone who has experience of anxiety, but as always women, queers, POC, disabled people, trans people, fat people, sex workers and anyone who is otherwise marginalised are particularly encouraged to apply!

The event will showcase the work of 20-30 stallholders and other exciting things happening too (details tbc!). Stallholders will be announced in early October.

Interested in tabling? Tables are free! Fill out this form by 20th September: https://forms.gle/vThYcJYwzWuQ7eaZ9
You will be advised if your application is accepted in late September. Anyone who identifies as marginalised and making work about mental health is encouraged to apply. Weirdo Zine Fest supports new zinemakers, so we would also like to encourage new and first time zine makers!

Admission
Entry to the zine fair and exhibitions at Science Gallery London is free.

Accessibility
All areas of Science Gallery are accessible by level access, by lift and by wheelchair. Wheelchair-accessible toilets are located on the ground and lower ground floor of the Gallery and the First Floor Studio. The Wheelchair-accessible toilets located in the first floor studio are outside of the main Gallery visitor access areas. Please contact a member of staff if you require assistance during your visit.

We will be using a room in Science Gallery London as a quiet space (location tbc closer to the date). This room will also contain zine making supplies to allow for people in the space to make things away from the busy zine fair.

There are both gendered toilets and accessible unisex/gender neutral toilets available in the building.

ON EDGE: LIVING IN AN AGE OF ANXIETY
We all experience anxiety to a greater or lesser extent at some point in our lives.

ON EDGE, Science Gallery London’s new season, investigates ways of living with anxiety, and how anxious states of being can fuel positive action.

Running from 19 Sep 2019 – 19 Jan 2020, the exhibition opens a critical conversation around the causes of and responses to anxiety in contemporary society, making visible the connections between individual experiences of anxiety and the wider societal conditions that frame those experiences.

Through artworks, and scientific and collaborative projects, the exhibition and events explore anxiety from many different perspectives. It considers the emotional experience of anxiety, the role of genetics, and how life with anxiety is affected by social factors, economics, class, gender and ethnicity.
