Live Art Mixer: Zine Workshop with Artizine

LADA is introducing a regular programme of Live Art Mixers, quarterly gatherings for artists and arts workers to collect and connect with each other and the LADA team.

Join us for our second mixer featuring a two-hour zine-making workshop with Ioana, founder of Artizine. All materials will be provided.

For this mixer we are partnering with Queer and Feminist Zine Spirits Across Borders , a new series of public events exploring self-publishing and ‘unbound’ as a radical strategy in East and Southeast Asian queer culture, designed and produced by Burong Zeng. 

Come browse Live Art Bookshop and a pop-up stall of zines and printed matter from Sino-diasporic publishing platforms, including OUTLAND and Pubis Project. Celebrate the launch of artist books by oo, Finch, SickGirl, and Funa Ye, commissioned by Queer and Feminist Zine Spirits Across Borders.

The workshop will be followed by Live Art Bookshop x Queer and Feminist Zine Spirits Across Borders
