From the organizer:
No drawing experience needed—just a love for art and a readiness to experiment! What can you create from a blank sheet of paper? In this 2-hour workshop, that blank page will be the starting point for your story to take flight through cut-outs, images, or colorful text.
This is what a “zine” is—originally short for “self-published magazine.” However, a zine is simply a form of personal publication for the purpose of self-expression and storytelling. Therefore, zines don’t need to follow a specific format, theme, or regular release like a magazine.
The concept of zines dates back to the 1930s and has become widely popular in international communities as a tool for endless creative expression using diverse materials to share anything—stories, experiences, and more. However, the term “zine” is still relatively new in Hanoi. To bring this format closer to the public, Nghề Nghệ Art Fair is collaborating with Dấu trân-châu to organize this workshop as part Complex Fest 2024: Craft & Print Union, under the title “Storytelling Through Collage – Zine & Collage Practice.”
During the workshop, you’ll be guided by host Nguyễn Minh Châu (@chausfootprints) to create your very own 8-page zine using a prepared DIY collage kit (with all kinds of materials). Additionally, you’ll get to explore some zines made by Minh Châu and other artists, while learning more about the zine culture.
Sign up now to explore the limitless world of creativity and take home your own unique, personal zine!
