SUMMARY:Decolonise Not Diversify (ft. zine making workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Art Against the Grain presents Decolonise Not Diversify: a one-day festival to unpack and challenge dominant narratives. \n‘The concept of diversity only exists if there is an assumed neutral point from which ‘others’ are ‘diverse.’ Putting aside for now the straight\, male\, middle-classness of that ‘neutral’ space\, its dominant aspect is whiteness. Constructed by a white establishment\, the idea of ‘diversity’ is neo-liberal speak. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Zine Club #2 with Stef Bradley
DESCRIPTION:Do you remember last time we did Zine Club? We hired the workshop space on the ground floor of Manchester Craft and Design Centre and gut busy making zines and chatting and having a nice time. Well\, we’re doing it again. Next Saturday in fact. August 6th. \nThis time we’ve got the super talented Stef Bradley leading the workshop so if you’re especially interesting in finding out how she puts her zines together then definitely come. But also it’s going to be a super informal workshop where we’ll just put loads of stuff on a table for you to mess about with. \nStef’s also doing an exhibition for us at the zine library itself which we’ll be putting up next weekend. More on that very soon. \nHere are the things you need to know:\nPrice: Free\nTime: Drop in any time between 2pm and 5pm\nLocation: Space2 in the Manchester Craft and Design Centre (almost opposite the cafe but not quite)\nWhat do you need to bring: maybe some zine stuff you’ve been working on? Or some collage materials? But if you don’t have anything like that and you just want to freestyle with the materials that we have then that’s cool too. \nhttp://twitter.com/todayzine\nhttp://www.salfordzinelibrary.co.uk/

SUMMARY:Zines in the Suburbs Expo
DESCRIPTION:Zine writers Tali Soares and Fliss Collier curate this exhibition\, gathering zines from Milton Keynes and surrounds to Belgium\, Brazil and beyond. \nSW Zines presents a zine library for the public to browse on the theme of “making art in small towns”.

He was the winner of the 2015 Great Northern Slam and was also picked two years in a row by BBC Newcastle to be part of Jesting About\, a celebration of the region’s best comedy talent. \nVICKY FOSTER | https://twitter.com/VickyFosterPoet \nVicky Foster is an emerging new voice in the Yorkshire spoken word scene. She is a member of A Car Load Of Poets in Hull and performs regularly with them as well as running the monthly spoken word and music event ‘Women of Words’.\nHer first book will be published by Kings England Press in October this year as part of the Humber Mouth collection. \nZINE LAUNCH \nNymphs & Thugs are excited to be launching a quarterly spoken word zine\, which will include poems\, features and interviews based on one of the fastest growing scenes in the UK right now. \nOPEN MIC \n6 slots are available\, all of which are limited to 3 minutes. Reserve yours by writing on the event wall\, or by inboxing Nymphs & Thugs. \nPAY WHAT YOU FEEL \nPlease note that the suggested donation is £5.

SUMMARY:ZINE CLUB #1
DESCRIPTION:If Salford Zine Library had a PR company and a marketing budget we’d have been dropping hints about what we’re calling “Two Thousand and Sixzine” for ages now. Or at least once during the first five months of the year. But here is the hint now: Two Thousand and Sixzine: the Year of the Zine is the dramatic sounding name for a programme of cool stuff that the zine library are going to be organising over the next 10 months or so (we’re cheating and creeping into Two Thousand and Sevenzine: the Second Year of the Zine).\nMore information on all those events later\, but here’s details of the first one we’re doing. \nZine Club #1 is going to be on May 28th between 2pm and 5pm in the workshop space at Manchester Craft and Design Centre. It’s FREE to take part and you don’t need to book – just drop-in if you have a spare half an hour. Essentially we’ve booked a room for nice people to come and hang out\, chat about zines and work on their own stuff. And if you’ve never made a zine before\, we’ll give you some pointers! We’ll have some materials for you to play with but feel free to bring your own. \nWe’ll also bring a chunk of the Salford Zine Library collection with us to inspire you. \nTell us you’re coming and invite your friends why don’t you: https://www.facebook.com/events/561643720666585/
