A ZINE[DREAM]SPACE
Zines as portals to imagining and creating social change
We work with artists, campaigners and organisations imagining and creating a more just and equitable world. We use zine-making as an accessible, creative, and political practice - a portal to past campaigns, shared learning, and imagining better futures.
We work with schools, universities, community organisations, artists and others to bring zine-making into creative projects, workshops and campaigns.
From designing zines to facilitating workshops and creating bespoke resources, we collaborate with organisations to find the right approach for their project.
A space for people to learn, explore and share social justice issues using zines.
Make your own zine, or bring zine-making to a group. Explore our growing zine archive, collection of zine kits and resources for artists, educators, youth workers, organisers, campaigners and people interested in learning about social justice issues.
WHAT IS A ZINE?
Pronounced ‘zeen’, these DIY, self-published, publications have a long history rooted in radical politics.
They tend to be low cost, easy to share, educational, community based - accessible. Long before the birth of the Internet, zines were an underground form of publishing which allowed people to connect with their communities, discuss ideas, and collaborate on writing and artwork. With the dawn of the digital age, zines have evolved with almost limitless possibilities.
All you need to make a zine is a piece of paper and something that makes a mark. They can be about anything and everything and there’s no experience necessary.
Zines help to:
Share educational resources
Build communities of care
Counter mainstream narratives
Express subcultures
Amplify radical messages
Tell stories + explore ideas
Make space for creative expression
