This hands-on workshop will teach you how to transform a traditional academic poster presentation into a zine. Zines are DIY magazines that can be made by anyone for a low cost. We will discuss research-based zines we have made, demonstrate folding techniques, and support participants to draft their own zines.
Previous events were Zine Club in both February and March, 2025.
Zine (zeen): independent, self published work often created by a single person.
Zinester: An individual who creates zines.
Perzine: Short for personal zine. A zine that discusses personal thoughts, experiences, and everyday events.
Zine Distro (DIS-tro): Short for zine distribution. Distros are places that distribute zines. Many individuals run distros out of their homes, mailing zines out to those who order them. Some independent book stores carry zines as well.
Below are some moments from zine and printing history:
