Zine Workshop, Harpies Fechters and Quines Festival, Edinburgh

This festival of talks, exhibitions and workshops is organised through a partnership between Glasgow Women’s Library, Edinburgh City libraries and the Bonnie Fechters women’s group. This year the theme is women and words – from poetry and performance, blogging and key works by iconic feminist writers to blogs, diaries, and journals. You can join in and create your own words or come along and hear from and read about other women of the past and present.

1-3pm, Tuesday 16th June
George Washington Brown Room, Edinburgh Central Library

Glasgow Women’s Library invites you to attend a workshop about zines and zine-making. Zines are small self-made publications and can be about anything – from what you did last week, the music or art you like or your personal, political and social life and have a long history of empowering women and other minority groups, enabling them to have a voice away from mainstream media. Come along and explore fanzines from our unique collection, learn about how they are made and even make your own.

All events are free of charge.
