MAKE YOUR OWN ZINE WITH KLAUW COLLECTIVE
When the pandemic started and we couldn’t organise events anymore, we wanted to find a way to still reach our communities and offer them a platform. With little to no experience, we adapted to our new reality and gave birth to KLAUW MAG. During this workshop KLAUW will take you along the process of making a Queer/BIPOC magazine. Who do you want to give a platform to and why? What is missing in current media and if you had the chance to share your own story, how would you communicate this? Learn all about this, our own process and more during the workshop.
Bring your own laptop!
13.00 – 13.30: How to KLAUW?

The construction of a collective chain zine, based on a group imaginary that will take elements from both cities Bilbao and Groningen as references. We propose a mental drifting that we will build together following the dynamics of the exquisite corpse, mixing collage, drawing, text … Each participant will build a side of the fanzine based on the times and rules given and will leave a clue on the next face for later passing the fanzine to the next participant. We will guide and energize the game by keeping track of the times and enlivening the game with traditional Basque and Dutch music.
