Zines are self-made mini magazines that have been influential in representing the narratives, politics and sub-cultures of groups that are typically under-represented by mainstream culture.

They provide an opportunity for individuals to use craft techniques to reflect their identity through creative self-expression. The art of zine making is simple, easy and can provide an outlet for self-meditation and social activism.

This workshop for LGBTQI people of colour will explore our experiences; learn about the historical use of zines within social activism, and work to create zines that challenge racism and homophobia in the UK.

This is a FREE workshop but booking is required – please reserve your place.

This workshop is in collaboration with Rainbow Noir and Archives+. There will be an opportunity for individuals to have their zines digitised – contributing to Rainbow Noir’s exhibition within Manchester Central library.
