"We’ve claimed Pride, only six to go!" Come make a mini zine about your favourite deadly sin! Are you embracing Wrath this summer? Getting really into Gluttony? Or maybe even exploring a little Lust? Zinemaking is a longstanding tradition in the queer community, a great way to express yourself without needing anyone else's platform. We bring magazines, paper, glue and everything else you might need to make a tiny booklet. No experience needed.

27.07 (Sun)
🔹 14:00–16:00 – 🍃 Eco-Printing Workshop by Gabriele Bonomi (Vegan Bear Lab)

Print with nature: textures, pigments, and botanical ghosts. In this session, we will explore the poetic process of eco-printing: using plants, herbs, and vegetable scraps to leave natural imprints on paper, fabric, and other surfaces. We’ll experiment with different supports and techniques — layering, steaming, pressing — and work with natural dyes prepared during the previous session.
