Time to make zines

The Royal College of Nursing Library and Museum is home to Europe’s largest nursing specific collection of materials. We have two exhibition spaces, a cafe and shop, and a nursing history collection open to all researchers. We host regular events on the history of nursing and related topics, as well as issues relating to health care and nursing research today.

Take time to relax and get creative with this online zine making workshop.

Take time to relax and get creative with a 1 and a half hour zine making workshop led by Hana Ayoob. We will be using a single sheet of paper to create a pamphlet exploring a topic of your choice. We will also take some time to explore the history and present of zines - small self-published magazines or pamphlets which are usually produced in small numbers for no or minimal profit.This session is inspired by the Radical Nurses Group, which is featured in the "The Art of Nursing" exhibition. Founded in 1980 by a group of nurses determined to make improvements to their profession and their patients’ lives, they used printed materials with innovative designs to promote direct action and challenge perceptions of nurses as silent, respectable and apolitical.What you'll need:<ul><li>1 sheet of plain A4 or A3 paper. This should ideally be white or a light plain colour, but we can also work with lined or gridded paper</li><li>Some scrap paper</li><li>A pair of scissors </li><li>A pen or pencil </li><li>Colouring pencils and felt tips</li><li>Collage materials such as old magazines or leaflets, stickers </li></ul> Hana AyoobHana Ayoob is a freelance science communicator and artist. She’s passionate about bringing people together to explore and challenge the world around them. Hana speaks at a range of events, runs creative workshops, produces events and provides science communication training and consultancy. How to joinThis event will be hosted on Zoom.
