December 12 marks the day the Papercut 'Zine Library collective is hosting a workshop, inviting all to create a page for an on-the-spot 'zine. From the Facebook event page:
Papercut staffers will lead a conversation exploring the big questions of: What's a zine? Where do zines come from? Why do people make them? What do they look like? If I were to make a zine, how big should I make the margins? How do I work this long-arm stapler? etc.
Participants will then be asked to build themselves a page or two for a group-zine on the topic of: Free Expression. Take an hour or so to write something up, draw a cartoon, build a collage, whatever.
The results will be laid-out, photocopied and collated on the spot, giving participants a full seed-to-cabbage type of zine-making experience--plus a new zine full of original art and ideas.
This seems like a very awesome event and is reminiscent of ideas and themes floating around in contemporary performance art (relational aesthetics, anyone?). I'll be trying my best to make it, and if I don't, please draw some demonic ice cream cones for me.
