    HAWWW! zines, diy bits, world-building textures, printed matter + narrative fragments

    HAWWW! zines, diy bits, world-building textures, printed matter + narrative fragments… it’s free + open to all!

    holding (literal) space for a print + publishing gathering has been a brewing intention of mine for some time, so let’s start with a concept day 🌱

    ✨maybe you want to bring, create, share, swap +/or test a #zine or #diy fragment or something in #print

    ✨maybe you want to sell or exhibit your work in true #popup fashion

    ✨maybe you have ideas to share about a dream #popup or #library or #zinefest environment

    ✨maybe you want to congregate in a warm + open space

    join SEEMAWORLD + @mixedrage (!) at this drop-in session to co-dream about your ideal diy publishing environment 🚪

    more on the concept of ‘HAWWW’ itself in the coming weeks 🫆 and info about the first HAWWW during october’s second saturday

    free + open to all!

    Join Jane Thakoordin, textile artist and long term lover of zines for a morning or afternoon of zine-filled joy!
    Kick starting an innovative creative participatory project in partnership with Dr Ben Griffiths from University of Birmingham, you are invited to spend time in the Zine Reading Room, looking at Jane’s collection of zines on diverse topics. Then, together we will make our own 3D interactive zines on the theme of mental health that may form the beginning of a new collection for The Library of the Brain.. Jane is an artist and Social Worker with over 30 years experience of creating, and working in the world of mental health.
