SUMMARY:Etsy Made Local: Leeds Make Your Own Fun: Zine Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Create your own self-published book with zine-maker and comic book creator Kristyna Baczynski. Zines can really be about anything\, from outlandish and imaginary tales to confessions and secret obsessions. \nWhether it’s a pocket-sized pamphlet cataloguing your favourite pets\, or a fold-out map charting your dream adventure\, this workshop will help you take your zine ideas from brain to paper. \nDuring this workshop we will make a range of different styles of zine and fill the pages with content using drawing and writing prompts\, as well as cut-up collage\, hand lettering and lots more! \nThe workshop is being held as part of the Etsy Made Local: Leeds Christmas Market.  The class will take place in the Denny Room on the Lower Ground Floor. \nMinimum Age for participants is 16.

SUMMARY:In Her Shoes Anti-Racist Zine Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Zines are small\, self-made mini magazines that can be about anything – from what you did last week\, to your personal\, political and social life. \nIn the 1990s\, women involved in the punk rock scene formed feminist zine collectives in order to publish and share their experiences of prejudice and discrimination. At GWL we have thousands of fabulous zines to inspire all women. \nAt this workshop for women of colour we will explore our own experiences of racism\, learn about the historical use of zines within social activism\, and work together to create our own unique zine that challenges racism and sexism in Scotland. \nThis workshop is FREE but space is limited so booking is required – please reserve your place using the form below. \nThis workshop is part of our In Her Shoes project. For more information\, please contact In Her Shoes Development Worker Rachel Thain-Gray rachel.thain-gray@womenslibrary.org.uk

In short\, we’re celebrating female creativity\, with the end goal of raising money for a very worthy cause. \nAbout Inkwell Arts\nInkwell Arts is a safe\, dedicated arts space that enriches lives through creativity\, and promoting positive mental health. The entire project is charity-run\, and relies on help from Leeds Mind to offer a creative shelter to those in the community that need it most. \nFAQs\nWhere can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nFeel free to email us at hello@kvinde.co.uk. \nDo I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? \nIf possible\, yes please!

It is the new corporatized version of multiculturalism… We don’t talk about racism\, just ‘lack of diversity.’ – Kavita Bahnot \nCurated by a collective of artists\, thinkers and doers\, the day will explore decoloniality through visual art\, performance\, literature\, media\, academia\, politics\, entrepreneurship\, & more\, provoking shared learning through open conversations. \nDecolonise Not Diversify will bring together thought-leaders from across the country to feed into the dialogue around #DecoloniseBrum\, addressing issues surrounding race and gender head on. The day will host a series of microlectures\, conversations\, workshops\, a DIY art exhibition and marketplace. \nTalks: \n‘Diversity as a Dead-End: Reading White Supremacy’ by Kavita Bhanot\n‘An Introduction to Islamic Decoloniality’ by Syed Mustafa Ali\n‘Decolonising Heath & Wellbeing’ by Chakabars\n‘History of Trauma: The Connection between Colonisation & Depression’ by Demi Nandhra\, Contemporary Other\n‘PREVENT & Islamophobia’ by Afronze Ziadi\, University of Birmingham\n‘The Importance of Black Studies’ by Kehinde Andrews\, BCU Black Studies Course \nWorkshops: \n‘Brown Girls Mean Business’ with mOmhead\n‘Exploring the Importance of Black Art’ with Black British Girlhood\n‘Anti-Blackness in Asian Communities’ with Latifah Stone\,Juice Aleem\, Sacha Xassan & Wasif Sayyed\n‘Unconscious Bias’ with Joy Warmington\, BRAP\n‘Make Your Own Bathbomb’ with Sad Girls Club\nZine-Making with OOMK\nUNMUTED \nPanel Discussions: \n‘Decolonising Museums & Established Arts Institutions’ with Sara Amanda of Exhibit B: Ban the Human Zoo & Charlotte Holmes\, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery\n‘Decolonising The Arts’ with OOMK & Black British Girlhood\n‘Decolonising Publishing & Literature’ with Anthony Anaxagorou\nMicrolectures: \n‘Black Hyper-Masculinity\, its Interiority and the Importance for Black Leadership and Black Activism’ by Ornette Clennon\n‘An Exploration of the Roadman Experience using the Classical Form of Katabasis’ by Caleb Femi \nMarketplace: \nStop Killing the Mandem\nDark Circle\nSuhaav\nSKByDesign\nmOmhead\nByng Inc.\nand more TBC \nPlus: \nDIY Open Exhibition\nFood Vendors \nwith further details to be announced.\nRead more from Kavita’s paper Decolonise\, not Diversifyon Media Diversified. \nIf anything is preventing you from attending this event\, please complete the form at the bottom of the Impact Hub Birmingham event page to apply for a free scholarship ticket.

And everyone else! \n**************************************** \nWomen for Refugee Women challenges the injustices experienced by women who seek asylum in the UK. They work to empower women who have sought sanctuary in the UK to speak out about their own experiences\, to give a voice to women who are all too often unheard and unseen. \n****************************************

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.
