DIY Press: Zines, Collage, Printmaking

Dive into the world of zine-making, collage art, and printmaking. Here, we explore the significance of these mediums as avenues for self-expression and communication. Through hands-on activities, participants develop practical skills in zine-making, collage techniques, and various printmaking processes such as relief, intaglio, and monoprinting. From traditional narratives to avant-garde experimentation, we delve into different formats, styles, and themes, discovering how these mediums can convey personal stories, explore identity, and reflect societal dynamics. Through experimentation with mixed-media techniques and collaborative projects, participants foster creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking in a supportive and inclusive environment.
