Zines have a rich history of enabling marginalised communities to collaborate and create radical documents of the their existence. For our final network meeting of the year, we will be exploring the art of zine-making with queer historian and artist Adrian/Saskia Devaney and Amber Akaunu who is a co-founder of ROOT-ed Zine.

Please join us!

About the Speakers:

Adrian/Saskia is a queer historian and artist who runs the repeating collaborative trans arts zine TRANScend, and has produced zines for the current exhibition “Queer the Pier” at Brighton Museum. Their work often explores trans futurisms as a way of making peace with queer histories, and the loss of those histories. They are interested in the potential of zines to create radical, nuanced, long-form conversations from perspectives typically excluded from more conventional arts spaces.

Amber Akaunu is a Nigerian-German artist from Liverpool who works across several mediums to explore concepts and ideas of race and identity. In 2018 Amber graduated university with a first class degree in Fine Art and during her final year of university, Amber co-founded ROOT-ed Zine - a quarterly magazine and social platform that promotes, inspires and supports creatives of colour from the North West of England.
