Calling all 13-25 year olds passionate about zines and grassroots publishing!
Come join our Zine Collective, part of our Beyond the Margins project all about elevating and empowering marginalised youth voices through zine making and grassroots publishing.
Every 6 months, we’ll work towards the publication of a collective zine, taking you from zine inception to publication. You’ll shape the art direction, content, and design, all with other likeminded folk!
