hank you to everyone who came to the BookFest zine-making workshop last weekend inspired by the Outside In World collection of children’s books in translation. It was a great success, and we signed up some new external library members!
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.
Our lovely student volunteers studying Illustration, Kate and Josie, are helping us lead a Zine-Making workshop for Portsmouth Bookfest on Saturday 22 February. This is a free event which can be booked via the P ublic Library’s Children’s Bookfest webpage. …
