Workshop: Militant Fanzine
Transform your convictions into images and speak out with your hands!
MAIF Social Club (Paris 3rd)
About
The fanzine is the ultimate paper tool for freedom of expression. In this militant workshop led by Léa Marchet, transform your convictions into a creative and joyful mini-edition. Using Tetra Pak engraving and a small press (a pasta machine!), you will create a collective visual manifesto together.
You will engrave one page of this poetic resistance booklet before printing it. At the end of the session, you will leave with your copy of the fanzine co-created by the group. No fear of the blank page: you will be guided by themes and poetic prompts to create brief messages and impactful visuals. A fast, raw, and creative workshop to discover the power of the printed image and the pleasure of independent publishing!
