Part II: Saturday 27th January, 2 pm
Workshop led by artist Fiona Quadri with June Givanni
In this zine workshop, we continue the dialogue on the importance of Black-led publications such as Black Film Bulletin & Black Film Review and participants are invited to encounter the June Givanni Pan African Cinema Archive through a creative lens. Similarly to these magazines, zines represent a publication practice outside of mainstream publications. Moreover, zines exist in a multitude of aesthetics and formats and can be shared, reproduced and archived.
Workshop:
To begin, the individuals will gain a deeper understanding on the importance of Black-led Journalism and archives for the Black community through a discussion with June Givanni.
The heart of the session is dedicated to the art of crafting a one-page zine with reproductions from the archive and Fiona Quadri’s private collection. The mixed-media approach serves as a response to the discussion on publishing and archiving, utilising the archival material and combining it with new ideas and perspectives. The workshop will end with a short presentation of the zines.
