“Replay” is a limited print fan-zine about the combination of music and gaming. With articles about Jet Set Radio, K/DA, an interview with Azikazin Magic World, and fan illustrations throughout, this mixed media zine is bound to have something for everyone. Replay was created by Jodie McFadyen and has two other contributors: editor Rico Ibrahim of ANRI (a zine about cultural preservation and sharing), and illustrations by Glasgow-based tattoo artist and illustrator Senna Bogan.
This launch party is a chance to meet other people with an interest in gaming and the creative outputs that occur alongside it. We have a set from Glasgow-based DJ and producer Rahul.mp3. who runs an up-and-coming clubbing collective called “Scandal” focusing on Baile Funk, Bhangra, Jersey Club and HipHop. Rahul will be showcasing a gaming themed set using some favourite mentions from Replay alongside some other material more commonly seen at Scandal.
There will be free copies of Replay available at the launch, on a first-come, first-serve basis. The launch schedule includes a quick walkthrough by Jodie once people start to arrive, and then we will transition into a DJ set. Come along, read some, dance some, and chat!
Follow us on Instagram @replayzine for some sneak peaks.

Come join us at The Derby Brewery Arms for our Food Zine Workshop, in which we will share traditional and family recipes to make a small compilation of foods and dishes from our cultures in Abya Yala, while also finding or coming up with the images, messages and drawings that will make up the visual design of the zine.
Refreshments will be provided. Please make sure to tell us of any dietary preferences and restrictions and allergies we must cater to upon purchasing a free ticket.
We have a limited travel budget for attendees to this event. If you would benefit from financial support to pay for travel costs for this event, please get in touch via nothingtocelebratemcr@gmail.com. As there is limited capacity for this event, we will offer this support on a first-come-first-served basis.
This workshop is for people with roots in Abya Yala to join the queer-led N2C collective in learning about zine-making through the collaborative design of this small food zine.
Abya Yala (in the indigenous Kuna language, meaning land in full maturity) is also commonly known as the American continent, including North and South America and Mesoamerica. This session is intended for migrants (including any descendants of first generation migrants) and diasporans with roots in Abya Yala, particularly those whose heritage and cultural experiences are rooted in indigenous communities in some way. We intend for this session to contribute to strengthening a local network of Abya Yala migrants and diasporans, as well as create a joyful environment where we can share about our cultures through food and tradition.
Nothing To Celebrate events center the safety and wellbeing of queer and trans people from global majority groups. We also implement a zero-tolerance policy in regard to prejudice and harassment, hate and abuse of any kind. We provide an accountable space where attendees can rely on the support and guidance of N2C collective as event organizers trained in safeguarding, to answer to any queries and concerns regarding the access and safety of our events as well as any circumstances arising during, as a result of, or in the lead up to our events. There will be a designated safeguarding and access lead during our events and multiple members of the collective will be present at our events. N2C collective is made up of queer and trans people from global majority groups and our allies.

BOOK A PLACE HERE
Join this 2 hour ZINEing class and create something unique (tea and biscuits provided!).
A zine, short for magazine or fanzine, is a self-published work that combines visuals and text in a unique, often experimental format. Zines can be messy, creative, and deeply personal, making them an ideal medium for expressing emotions, experiences, and thoughts.
This workshop will guide students in creating their own personal zines, emphasising personal wellbeing in a safe, supportive, and friendly environment. By engaging in the process of zine-making, participants can explore and articulate their feelings, promoting mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Students will learn various techniques for combining images and words to tell their own stories. This process encourages self-reflection, creativity, and personal growth. The supportive atmosphere of the workshop ensures that everyone feels comfortable sharing and expressing themselves, fostering a sense of community and connection. Students will create a personal zine that reflects their unique journey and emotions in a nurturing and inspiring setting.
