Zine collection launch



A big thanks to everyone who has donated their zines to us so far. We have recieved some very exciting publications and our small collection of zines is now growing.

To celebrate our new zine collection we are holding a zine launch event Thursday 30th September 6:30pm at the Stuart Hall Library. This event is open to the public and free to attend. A selection of artists and zine writers will provide an evening of presentations and discussions to explore cultural diversity in the worlds of zines, self publishing, and artists' books.

The zine launch event will feature 3 presentations by current artists and writers in the zine community. The panel of guests include:

* Cazz Blaze is a zine maker, writer and social historian and a regular contributor to The F-Word

* Hamja Ahshan is a member of Other Asias, an artist-led initiative challenging contemporary navigations of Asia

* Storm in a Teacup collective, promoting women in the arts.

We are also asking for zine donations on the evening. If you would like your zine to be added to the new collection in the library then please bring it with you and speak to a member of the library team at the event.

The event is taking place in the Stuart Hall Library, Thursday September 30th 6:30pm.
