SUMMARY:Sheffield Zine Fest 2020
DESCRIPTION:Come along to browse and buy zines and crafts made by local writers\, artists and designers and those from further afield – or make your own – and find out all about independent publishing. \nWhat’s a zine? Pronounced ‘zeen’ like maga-zine\, it’s a magazine or booklet that you make yourself\, and give away\, swap or sell for the cost of printing. What’s the point? To share your knowledge\, or your feelings\, or your experiences in a way that’s more tangible than blogging\, less commercial\, and more immediate than traditional print media. \nFree entry and free workshops: make a mini zine\, try mail art\, craftivism\, and more! \nPart of the Festival of Debate 2020.

SUMMARY:(CANCELLED) Essex Grrrl Zine Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 30 April from 6 – 8 pm\, alongside Beecroft Art Gallery’s This Is What An Essex Girl Looks Like exhibition\, to create our own self-published zines. We’re sticking one up to the Essex Girl stereotype\, writing our own narratives and documenting our experiences in a relaxed\, creative form of self-care through collage\, writing and drawing. \nWe’ll also learn about the history of zine-making and the women who came before us- as well as taking a look at the Grrrl Zine Library\, which is permanently housed at The Old Waterworks in Westcliff-on-sea. \nThey’ll be an opportunity to duplicate our zines to share with friends\, family or to distribute throughout town. \nZines can also be donated to the exhibition for display or public reading. \n♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ \nHosted by founder of Grrrl Zine Fair Lu Williams\, zine workshops through Grrrl are presented as an adaptable way of making outside of academic or capitalist endeavours. Zine making is made accessible to communities outside of the art world and can be used as a way of self-expression\, a tool\, or practice of self-care. \nAll materials provided. Drinks & snacks included. The venue is accessible. \nMore info on the exhibition here: https://www.southend.gov.uk/events/event/4483/this_is_what_an_essex_girl_looks_like

SUMMARY:QUARANZINE FEST 2020! (online)
DESCRIPTION:Quaranzine Fest 2020 ~ a viral safe-space! | APRIL 4th & 5th 2020 | #quaranzinefest \nInoculate against boredom! Self-quarantine is not exciting! Start stockpiling zines before panic buying starts! \nQuaranzine Fest is a (cough…) viral concept to connect zine makers and patrons in this turbulent time of social distancing. In the face of Federal Government ineptitude\, callousness\, and lack of empathy\, the DIY community has come together to… not come together. As we work in solidarity to honor the social contract and flatten the curve\, many of us in the international zine\, art book\, and DIY community have been dramatically impacted by the closures of the art book fairs and zine fests where we connect with each other\, discover exciting new work\, and (for us vendors) make part of our living. \nQuaranzine Fest is simple. Post your work on the platform of your choice April 4th and 5th with the hashtag #quaranzinefest – no submission process\, no selection process\, no fees\, no leaders\, no volunteers\, no building\, no table\, no limit on vendors\, no fire code restrictions\, no peanut butter fingers touching your zines. \nSee more: https://ispress.co/event/quaranzine-fest-2020/

SUMMARY:TV Will Break Your Heart: TV Fanzine Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“With film you’re in and you’re out and you go on with your life. TV is like a long relationship that ends abruptly or wistfully. One way or another\, TV will break your heart.” – David Bordwell \nIt’s time to put all those hours spent watching Netflix to good use. We know you’ve got ~strong feelings~ about TV shows – so do we. Come and gather with other TVphiles and get those feelings out of your head and into a zine!! \nSome potential zine titles to get you inspired:\n-why’d they cancel Firefly??\n-an ode to the sassy commentator on Come Dine With Me\n-the impeccable morality of Captain Jean Luc Picard\n-Loving Love Island \nWe offer many free events throughout the year\, but we rely on donations to continue to run our programme. Please consider giving an optional donation (suggested £3 per ticket) to support this and future events at GZL. \n\n\n\n\nClick here to book a free ticket\n\n\n\n\nGlasgow Zine Library (https://glasgowzinelibrary.com/) is an archive and library based in the Southside of Glasgow. It acts as a growing archive of self-published works\, with an inviting and accessible area of reading in the space\, as well as running a year-long programme of events to celebrate the ethos of Do It Yourself (DIY) culture. \nACCESS: The Library can accommodate wheelchair users\, but unfortunately\, we do not have a wheelchair accessible bathroom yet – we are currently applying for funding to make our bathroom accessible to everyone\, and we will be making the needed adjustments as soon as we have the funds to do so.

SUMMARY:Queer Zine Library cataloguing party
DESCRIPTION:Queer Zine Library is a diy roaming library celebrating LGBTQIA radical self-publishing. The zine library travels across the UK taking up residency in community spaces. \nIf you are interested in getting involved with Queer Zine Library and want to learn more about cataloguing then get involved! \nCataloguing is a way for new readers to discover zines in our collections and to track where those zines are currently on display. All cataloguing is carried out by QZL volunteers and we are hosting our very first public cataloguing party inviting queer zine makers and queer zine readers to contribute and develop the way we catalogue. \nEveryone is welcome regardless of experience. No previous knowledge of cataloguing is necessary\, just a passion for queer zines! We want the queer community to challenge ideas of cataloguing and help us build a collective approach to making the library accessible. There will be a chance to spend time with the amazing zines in our library collections\, learn the basics of cataloguing from our volunteers\, as well as contribute to our collective cataloguing which is always changing and growing. \nSpaces are limited and booking is essential. Get in touch if you have any questions about the day queerzinelibrary@gmail.com \nCanvas Cafe have provided the community hub meeting space for free in return for a donation to our Pay-it-forward board which provides food and drinks to homeless people in Tower Hamlets. As part of this agreement we ask all attendees not to bring your own food and drink with you and to use the cafe for all food. Drinks from the cafe are on us. The cafe is 100% vegan. You can find more info about food options here: https://www.thecanvascafe.org/vegan-cafe \nCanvas Cafe has gender neutral toilets. The space is wheelchair accessible but unfortunately the cafe has no wheelchair accessible toilet facilities at the moment. We are prioritising a fully accessible venues for our next cataloguing sessions and apologies to everyone who will be unable to attend this first meetup. You can find more about the venue’s access and safer space policy here: https://www.thecanvascafe.org/about
