SUMMARY:Replay Zine Launch
DESCRIPTION:“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. \nThis 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. \nThere 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! \nFollow us on Instagram @replayzine for some sneak peaks. \n!Attendees must be over the age of 18!

SUMMARY:Edinburgh Zine Festival 2024
DESCRIPTION:Edinburgh Zine Festival is back for 2024 alongside Fruitmarket’s Artist BookMarket on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th February 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue \nEdinburgh Zine Fest 2024 will be in Fruitmarket’s warehouse space\, next door to Waverley Station. \nTimings \nThe Zine Fest will run 11-6 on Saturday\, and 11-5 on Sunday. \nAccess \nAccessiblity information about Fruitmarket can be found here: https://www.fruitmarket.co.uk/accessibility/ \nIf you have any specific questions\, please ask us. \nWill there be workshops? \nWe have some exciting TOP SECRET plans brewing around workshops and other Edinburgh Zine Festival events\, so stay tuned… \nCovid-19 \nAs described in our To The Front policy\, we prioritise applications from people underrepresented at zine fairs\, at DIY cultural events and in mainstream arts and culture. It would be hypocritical to both prioritise disabled zine makers and zine makers who are carers without also taking the risks of the on-going Covid-19 pandemic seriously. \nAs at previous zine fests\, we will expect people who table with us\, organisers and attendees to wear face masks at the Zine Fest if they are able to. This is not something we can legally enforce but if we feel that people aren’t working together to make EZF2024 as safe as possible for everyone\, this may affect whether we feel confident to organise future zine fests. \nContact Us \nYou can message us via CuratorSpace about your application\, or email edinburghzinelibrary@gmail.com. \nPlease bear in mind that we are a small team all organising the zine fest alongside work\, studying\, caring\, surviving (and occasionally zine making…) We will try and get back to you as quickly as possible\, but it may take us some time to respond.
