Words that Break the Siege: Writing as Resistance
Palestine Museum Scotland is hosting a zine workshop as part of events associated with the exhibition, Words that Break the Siege - Writing as Resistance, on display from April 18th-May 3rd. The exhibition features artwork and zines from the Zines from Gaza project.
Zines from Gaza brings together a grassroots publishing initiative by writers in Gaza with volunteer editors, artists, designers and distributers across the globe, to produce zines that can be sold to support the writers and their families.
Zines (self-published magazines) are part of the rich history of radical self-publishing. They are small-scale publications that can be made by anyone. Often they are the only records of subcultures, countercultures, and alternative movements. Zines are used for creative expression and to share information, distribute resources and build community – on topics from fan culture to social justice.
The workshop will be run by Glasgow Zine Library. GZL is the largest independent zine library in the UK with an international collection of over 4,000 zines and was founded to preserve these stories, create opportunities to tell new ones, and celebrate DIY arts culture and zine heritage. At the workshop you will get an introduction to zines, a discussion about zines as a tool for resistance, and then participants will be shown how to make their own.
The workshop is open to makers over 16 years - no experience necessary!
All materials will be provided - just bring your passions, enthusiasm and creativity!
