Whilst the history of zines could be seen as part of a long history of home-made magazines dating back to the 1930, and an even longer history of pamphlets,yet one of the most commonly sighted moments in its history has been the punk fanzine of the 1970s and early 80s, where fans would publish there own alternative to the music press with the aid of paper, glue and a photocopyer. This like many other moments in the history of zines is pervaded by a do-it-yourself ethos. In this session we will be presenting both a short history of zines and inviting an assortment of guests to share and talk about their work.
Guests will include Fidge Bibblyotek (Never Work Zine), Monica Namug and Nuria Castro (Aghh Zine), and Soofiya (Soofiya.com), and …more to follow.
