Starting: TBA
Duration: 4 classes.
The zine workshop emerges as a practical space to provide conceptual and useful tools to those who wish to create their own printed productions. During the classes, we will explore technical aspects to understand the logic of editorial assembly and engage in conceptual exercises to help us better grasp and enhance our ideas. No prior knowledge is required to attend the workshop.
The zine originated in the 1940s as a peripheral self-publishing format that sought to give visibility and space to voices marginalized by mass and hegemonic media. Since the return to democracy in Argentina, the zine has aimed to create a space of discomfort and resistance, serving as a medium of communication and political-subjective experimentation that challenges and confronts neoliberal economic, social, and cultural policies. It creates new collective spaces that seek to make visible, through subjectivity, a sensitive experience.
Based on these concepts, the workshop seeks to highlight the value of the format and its possibilities, encouraging the creation of a production that reflects our concerns, while providing the tools to bring them to life.
The workshop consists of three in-person classes, where we will cover concepts, examine the works of other zine creators, and engage in a practical phase where we work on our projects. At the end of the three classes, there will be an optional virtual session where participants will learn how to use InDesign for digital zine layout.
Start a revolution, make a zine!
