Workshop series for 𝚆𝙰𝚈𝚂 𝙾𝙵 𝚁𝙴𝙼𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝚁𝙸𝙽𝙶 exhibition.

Join us for an evening of zinemaking and turn pieces of your memory into something you can hold onto.

Whether it is big or small, good or bad, we believe your story matters — and we'll create space to honour it.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll be guided to make a zine of your own. We’ll cover the basics of zine-binding and creative storytelling, and work through ways to weave your personal memories into a tactile, self-made publication. You’ll also be introduced to a brief history of zinemaking and DIY culture as tools for self-expression and community building.

All materials will be provided. No preparation needed. That said, you’re encouraged to bring a piece of memory that you’d like to work from. The workshop will be conducted in English (with Cantonese support if needed).
