Zine Workshop Presented by Artist Marie-Sofie Braune, Allegra Kortlang and Naomi Deibel

This workshop proposes the collective creation of a mega-zine as a form of visual and textual resistance.Participants will photograph or scan pages containing text and/or images from library books and materials provided by us during the workshop.These materials will be printed using the library printer and then intervened upon, blacked out, cut, distorted, or digitally manipulated using cameras, laptops, Print & Copy, and Photoshop.

Through these acts of disruption, we aim to dismantle themes such as control, fear, and exclusion, while rewriting collective stories of dreaming and refusal.

Sleep functions as a central metaphor throughout the workshop, not as disengagement, but as a refusal to sleep through the events of the world and current politics, while opening space to imagining a better world.

Using props such as sleeping masks and staged images of rest, vulnerability, and dreaming, participants will transform imagery and words into gestures of care, refusal, and collective dreaming.

The final outcome will be a two-meter-long zine, large enough to physically enter, inviting readers into a shared space that refuses to sleep on, what is happening, while opening room for dreaming, imagination, and the collective story telling of the world.

Length: 4 Hours
