SUMMARY:Edinburgh Zine Library: Open Meeting No.1
DESCRIPTION:Come along to the first Open Meeting of the Edinburgh Zine Library. Learn more about the zines\, the zine library and how to get involved. \nThere’ll be a short presentation (15 minutes) about the ZIne Library Project\, followed by a drop-in and a chance to chat to us about volunteering and other ways to get involved.

The George Washington Browne room is located on the mezzanie adjacent to the music library. If you’re unsure how to find it – ask the lovely people at the library reception\, they’ll be more than happy to help! \nWe want the library to be as accessible as possible so we\, the Edinburgh Zine Library\, operate a safe space policy throughout our organisation and all our meetings – you can have a read of it here if you’re unsure what that means: https://edinburghzinelibrary.wordpress.com/safe-space-agreement/ \nIf you have any questions about the accessibility of the meeting or the meeting room please just ask.

Although we only accept volunteers and members over the age of 18\, if you have children you are welcome to bring them to this first meeting. \nIf you are unable to attend the meeting (we know festival time can be hectic\, and that unfamiliar group meetings don’t suit everyone) but want to be involved please send us an email: edinburghzinelibrary@gmail.com or a message on facebook and we can arrange individual meetings\, or work to find a way for you to be involved that works for you! \nWe look forward to meeting you all there!

Weirdo Zine Fest supports new zinemakers\, so we would also like to encourage new and first time zine makers! \nAdmission\nEntry to just the zine fair is free. Normal admission charges apply to visit the zine fair and the historic rooms. There will be a School of Anarchy exhibition throughout the house. Price of admission will also cover entry to the after party in the evening. \nThe National Trust is a charity\, Sutton House is giving this space for free\, if you wish to support the preservation of this important community space\, please consider paying the admission charge if you are able to. \nAccessibility\nThe zine fair and afterparty will be on the ground floor\, which is wheelchair accessible. Unfortunately the historic rooms are not wheelchair accessible. We have an accessible toilet which is also designated gender neutral – a first for the National Trust. \nSutton House Queered\nBuilt in 1535 by Tudor Statesman Ralph Sadlier\, Sutton House is the oldest domestic building in Hackney. Throughout its almost 500 year history\, the house has been a boys’ school\, a girls’ school\, a church institute\, offices\, and a squat. The house is now owned by the National Trust\, and has a strong focus on working with the local community. Sutton House was the first National Trust property to celebrate LGBT History Month\, and the first to introduce a gender neutral toilet. Sutton House Queered is a year- long programme that aims to question and disrupt\, to challenge and celebrate. Much like Sutton House’s varied and colourful history\, Queer is fluid and ever-changing\, and presents a great opportunity for us to explore the National Trust’s Prejudice and Pride theme\, marking the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality. \nSchool of Anarchy\nIn April 1985 a group of 8 squatters made Sutton House their home. They sent a letter to local residents which read:\n“As you’ve probably noticed\, something is happening at Sutton House- several of us have moved in and are hoping to convert it into a kind of community centre.”\nThey proposed opening the house to the public\, running a café and arts and craft workshops for local community members. They renamed their new home ‘The Blue House’ and hosted rock concerts here. This short but colourful era in Sutton House’s unusual history lasted less than a year\, but has left its mark on how we run today\, the community are at the heart of everything we do. As well as decorating the house with vibrant graffiti art\, some of which is retained today\, the squatters wrote anti-fascist\, anti-Thatcher and feminist political slogans on the doors of the rooms. Sutton House’s strong activist roots have inspired our Summer of Anarchy\, which will explore LGBTQ activism. \n#SuttonHouseQueered

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:Zine Workshop - Sick!
DESCRIPTION:A workshop for those affected by invisible illnesses – guiding you to express yourself through words\, images or collage to create a collaborative zine on this theme. Led by artist and printmaker Xtina Lamb\, your contributions will be compiled into a small DIY publication – a ‘zine’\, to be printed on INTRA’s Risograph machine. The zine will be available free to visitors of the Sick! exhibition at Sun Pier House in Chatham\, Kent in August. \nWe’ll supply collage materials\, typewriters (old school!)\, drawing supplies\, glue\, and will have lots of ideas to get you thinking about the ways you could contribute to the zine. Bring along any extra materials you’d particularly like to use to create the pages\, or if you have sketchbooks or notebooks of writing – those would be great for the workshop too. But you don’t need to be a fantastic artist or an accomplished poet to take part\, if you have experiences of invisible illness (either from your own ill health or those close to you)\, we would love to include your contributions. \nPlease choose the morning or afternoon session.

During this one – week takeover at the Brixton Pound Cafe\, OPEN will create spaces for people to broaden their horizons\, network\, collaborate\, share and converge their opinions\, form new relationships and free trapped minds.
