SUMMARY:A Short Exhibition About Music Zines
DESCRIPTION:A Short Exhibition About Music Zines\, presenting a brief history and overview of the movement in the UK\, co-curated by LCC Library (UAL) and Jen Kavanagh. \nMusic zines feature heavily in the London College of Communication\, UAL Library Zine Collection. From the original punk fanzines of the 1970s\, through to the indie and alternative zines of the subsequent five decades\, zines continue to be vital in providing bands and fans a means to share their music and express their ideas and opinions. The DIY ethos and aesthetic of punk subculture continues to influence and empower today. \nNick Mann’s zine\, A Short Fanzine About Rocking (ASFAR)\, is an influential punk\, metal and hardcore music zine which ran for 38 issues from 2001-2014. ASFAR provides a case study which highlights the importance of self-publishing for individuals and subcultural communities. ASFAR had a huge impact on the underground music scene in the UK and beyond\, and on its long-term contributors. The exhibits shown will provide examples of Nick’s work and writing\, and show the passion and process behind creating a music zine.

SUMMARY:Agency : Make your Mark
DESCRIPTION:Agency : Make your Mark is a participatory zine-making project created throughout the summer at Arnolfini\, conceived and facilitated by artist Rachael House. \n\nAgency : Make your Mark talks about how we survive\, and pass on ideas of how to make things better\, for ourselves\, other people and the planet. In tiny ways – or thinking on a BIG scale. “It’s important to remember that we have some agency in the world\, and that our actions have consequences”. \nIn 2016\, in times just as difficult as the late 1970s\, zines are still a way for us to connect with each other\, to have a voice. We don’t have to be ‘experts’\, zines are for all of us\, we all have something to say and a need to be heard. Small lo-fi publications\, we can use zines to reach out to others\, to campaign\, to find our people\, locally\, nationally and internationally. \nNo previous experience necessary\, this is a drop-in activity for all ages and abilities produced by artist Rachael House – just come along\, join-in and DIY. \nSaturday August 13  1-5pm\, Gallery 1 \nRachael will present tips on how to ‘zine’ and audiences are invited to discover how to make their own one-off zine using a single sheet of A4 paper and/or contribute a single page (or two or three) to a larger zine\, to be published after the summer. \n  \nAgency : Make your Mark zine sessions continue every day throughout August & September in Gallery 1 facilitated by Arnolfini project volunteers. \n  \nSaturday 10 September 11-5pm\, Gallery 1 \nDuring this final session\, Rachael will present a short performative talk about zine culture. The rest of the session will be for both audiences and participants to view and select works made throughout the summer to be collated and layed out to create a final printed zine. \n  \nRachael House is an artist lucky and unlucky enough to come of age in the punk era. She carries with her from that time a belief in DIY; if you want something to happen you can make it happen. From dyeing your hair\, forming a band\, customising your clothes to making a zine. \nRachael makes events\, objects\, performances\, comic strips and zines. In the 1990s Rachael was part of the thriving queerzine scene\, with her autobiographical comic Red Hanky Panky. She continues to make zines and comic strips as part of and alongside her fine art practice. Her recent projects and exhibitions include Focus on Feminism and Gender\, New Hall Art Collection\, Cambridge\, There Is An Alternative! Critical Comics and Cartoons\, University of Kent\, Comix Creatrix- 100 women making comics at House of Illustration\, London\, Queer Feminist Disco at Bent Fest\, Powerlunches\, London\, Feminism and zines- changing the world with comic strips\, part of Future Perfect: The Changing Face of Girls’ Comics\, LJMU Special Collections and Archives\, Liverpool and Challenge Heteronormativity at the V&A\, London. \nJoin in the conversation using #bristolpunk.

SUMMARY:Zines in the Suburbs Expo
DESCRIPTION:Zine writers Tali Soares and Fliss Collier curate this exhibition\, gathering zines from Milton Keynes and surrounds to Belgium\, Brazil and beyond. \nSW Zines presents a zine library for the public to browse on the theme of “making art in small towns”. The exhibition explores the different work of artists who have grown up or lived in small towns including written statements from zine creators about their experiences. \nZines are a form of self-publishing – the artist creates at home\, many are/were teenagers working from their bedrooms. 60s/70s music fanzines\, especially punk\, influenced generations. Zines are widely made today – the art of cutting\, pasting\, photocopying\, is alive in suburbs across the world. Reaching out\, speaking up\, zines connect in a unique way. \nThere will be a library of zines to explore\, and a chance to talk to Tali and Fliss. Free mini zines will be on offer\, as well as a range of zines from various artists to buy.

SUMMARY:Exhibition of Illustrated Women in History
DESCRIPTION:Julie Gough is a graphic designer\, illustrator and art teacher based in Bristol. Her Illustrated Women in History series began after the news broke about a Jack the Ripper museum in London which was due to open. The museum had been granted permission to open in order to celebrate women in history\, and to have changed this to celebrate someone who brutally murdered women instead was outrageous. It made her think about how much she actually knew about women in history\, and apart from a few names she knew very little. So she decided that it was important to learn about some of the women that have contributed to\, and shaped our history and celebrate their achievements by illustrating them. \nShe will be exhibiting selected illustrations from the series at HOURS with a DJ set by FAN CLUB. Illustrated Women in History prints\, postcards and zines will be available as well as FAN CLUB zines. \nPublic Launch event April 9th 5-9 pm.\nPublic opening times: Sunday 10th April 10am-4pm and by arrangement\, until April 21st.
