A zine, short for fanzine or magazine, is a DIY* subculture self-publication, usually made on paper and reproduced with a photocopier or printer. Zine creators are often motivated by a desire to share knowledge or experience with people in marginalized or otherwise less-empowered communities. The Art-Zines in the display case on the Ground Floor of the University Library have been loaned to us by University of Portsmouth’s Zineopolis curator, Jac Batey. Selected and curated by two MA Illustration students, Kate and Josie, many of the examples reflect the theme of journeys.
The PGM Ambassadors have created a fabulous display in the Heritage Hub display space, just outside the Park Building café. If you are in Portsmouth, I thoroughly recommend checking it out! For those of you learning at a distance, you can view much of the display material on the Library website. It’s definitely worth a look!

This exhibition is not only a collection of images but a powerful message I feel compelled to share with the next generation — one that highlights the profound connection between humans, animals, and the natural world around us. As a photographer who has travelled to various cities across the globe, I have come to realize that this relationship is essential for the survival and health of our urban spaces.

Art of Glass is probably best described as a body of sculptural work which I’ve been constructing using found objects. The project is born out of my habitual tendency towards beachcombing. In particular, this tendency to collect objects of interest from the shoreline around Hampshire.
Simon’s photographic exhibition, the Serenissima of the South Coast, describes a walking tour of Portsmouth as a city in decline.
