SUMMARY:Achilles! Fanzine Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Achilles! is a fanzine about the Achilles Street area in New Cross\, South-East London\, which is under threat of regeneration by Lewisham council. \n4 blocks of houses and 2 rows of shops face potential regeneration\, a euphemism for total demolition. \nThe zine is a space celebrating the existing area and people of Achilles Street. It is a time capsule\, a love-letter\, a plea for a conversation around regeneration. \nFeatured are profiles on residents of Achilles Street\, emphasising their personal histories in addition to local creatives’ contributions. The fanzine itself was designed and made by project director Lilah Francis with two residents: Jacqueline Utley and Christian Codjoe. \nJoin us at Vinyl Deptford for the official Achilles Fanzine Launch Party. The zine will be available to purchase for £2 with 50% percent of proceeds going to the Achilles Stop and Listen Campaign. \nWe will have live poetry by John Robert Clarke\, AKA Jazzman John and a DJ set by the Codjoe brothers\, who are selecting tracks based on their experiences of growing up in the area\, further acts to be confirmed.

SUMMARY:Zine Launch - Howl of the Runt
DESCRIPTION:After a brief hiatus\, the Runt is back to baffle minds once again! \nFor issue 10 of our beloved zine\, our theme is that of Madness.\nForever the booty call of controversy\, we selected this theme in order to generate the question: what does it mean to be ‘mad’? \nFor some\, this was a way to channel their appreciation of authors such as Lewis Carroll or Edgar Allan Poe into loving homage.\nOthers provided some thought provoking pieces that reflected on mental illness\, and how we view it today. \nWe’ve collected all of our favourite pieces and published the tenth issue of the Runt\, and we’re gong to launch it in style!\nAs usual\, there will be guest speakers\, baked goods and good company. \nIn honour of Bloomsday\, we’ll also be giving anyone that comes along the chance to participate in a collaborative re-writing of James Joyce’s Ulysses. Literary immortality awaits you! \nA mere €4 euro gains you entry\, a free copy of the zine and at least one cookie/bun. \nSo come along\, laugh\, cry and descend into madness with us!

SUMMARY:The Recovery: exhibition and zine launch
DESCRIPTION:Having previously questioned perceptions of print media with her screenprints in the style of mock newspaper front-pages\, for the latest iteration of The Recovery\, Emily turned to the the zine format. Partly in response to the significant community archive of independently published zines of the Forgotten Zine Archive at A4 Studios\, she created a series of The Recovery zines. The launch event will also feature a curated selection of political zines from the Forgotten Zine Archive\, as well as a hands-on zine-making workshop facilitated by Emily McGardle and Tom Maher of the Forgotten Zine Archive on Saturday 11th February\, from 12 -5pm. \nThe event will begin with readings from selected zines\, including from The Recovery\, with a relaxed and informal panel discussion to follow. We’ve also brought together a number of artists\, performers and commentators who will on the night present their own responses to The Recovery\, and to the state of Irish politics\, news and media – and through our conversations and discussions\, we hope to tease out ways we can tackle shortcomings in these. \nWe’ll have discussion and responses from Lois Kapila (editor\, Dublin Inquirer)\, Dave Lordan (poet\, performer\, editor Bogman’s Cannon)\, Tom Maher (librarian\, curator Forgotten Zine Archive) and Jessamyn Fairfield (comedian\, scientist). \n  \nExhibition Opening & Zine Launch\nFriday 10th February\n6.30pm – 10.00pm \nDiscussion & Responses from\nEmily McGardle (Artist)\nLois Kapila (Editor\, Dublin Inquirer)\nDave Lordan (Poet\, Performer\, Editor Bogman’s Cannon)\nTom Maher (Librarian\, Curator Forgotten Zine Archive)\nJessamyn Fairfield (Comedian\, Scientist). \nZine-making Workshop\nSaturday 11th February\n12pm – 5pm
