With this in mind, we've created a code of conduct that we expect all our participants and attendees to be mindful of and adhere to. If at any time you have concerns about behaviour, zine content, or feel unsafe at one of our events, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. We want to make your experience with Zinefest the most positive it can be.<br /><br /> Here is the content of the code in full:<br /><br /><b>Wellington Zinefest Code of Conduct 2017</b><br /><br />We want Zinefest to be an inclusive event where people who enjoy the craft of zine making can share that passion with others. The spirit of Zinefest is one of collaboration and community, and as such we aim to foster an environment where everyone participating is treated with respect and kindness, regardless of their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age or physical ability.<br /><br />We’re dedicated to ensuring that Zinefest is a positive and safe experience for everyone involved, and we pass on the expectation to all vendors and attendees to uphold that. If for any reason someone violates that during one of our events, and you feel you are made unsafe or uncomfortable, please let one of us know and we will deal with the situation accordingly. <br /><br />Wellington Zinefest does not tolerate any kind of harassment. Any vendors or attendees that participate in any sort of behaviour that constitutes as harassment, including offensive comments, stalking, unwanted physical contact or unwelcome sexual attention will be asked to stop the inappropriate behaviour and to comply immediately when asked. This may also include being asked to leave the event and banning from future Zinefest events. <br /><br />By paying the stall fare, all zine vendors will recognise and agree to these conditions. <br /><br />If you are distributing material that some may be considered offensive or discriminatory by a patron or zine vendor, you may be asked to leave. We cannot vet all zines and other distributed material by vendors prior to or on the day of the event. If you are aware of anyone who intends to distribute offensive or discriminatory material, purposefully or otherwise, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us.<br /><br />If you have any concerns about the event or the comfort and safety of yourself or anyone you know attending the event, please contact us. <br /><br />Rachel, Ellen, Becky, Gus, Milly, Caitlin & Jewelia<br />wellingtonzinefest@gmail.com</span>Wellington Zinefesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07182301160023897518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482168089810588286.post-72023118026117664502016-11-07T19:13:00.003+13:002016-11-07T19:13:52.564+13:002016 Zinefest poster - it's here and it's rad!Thanks to the one & only <a href="http://pinkyfang.nz/" target="_blank">Pinky Fang</a> for our poster this year.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black;">i have always been quite crafty (although i would never have considered it art back then!) so my first attempts at zine making would have been single page collages. i think the first one was about access to reproductive healthcare in Aotearoa. my first ~official~ zine was created on my birthday at an event that rainbow youth put on in Auckland, around 3 years ago. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: black;">my favourite zines tend to end up being ones that are illustration heavy. one of my fav collections is 'imaginary lovers' by devon anna smith. i am 10000% sure i feature in issue three!!
i believe it is important to support local artists, so i often end up purchasing zines from them as i don't have enough money to buy prints of their art. it's also a fun way to end up with a large collection of tiny artworks!</span></span></div>

That was my first introduction to zine makers. I think I went to a couple of other workshops after that. Then I just started finding zines to read and making my own. </span><br />

It’s self explanatory and exactly what you are expecting. I review socks that I have and tell you if they are worth buying or not. There’s a lot of socks out there and some of them are really bad, sometimes they are really good. That’s what I’m here for. To go with that series I am going to be making ‘how to care for your socks’ zine because it’s important and people don’t look after their socks properly. I can attest to this, if you have not seen how bobbly Amand’s [the boyfriend] socks are, it’s disgraceful and I’m ashamed. I’m making some black out poetry. I’m not much of a poet but I’m liking that style. I’m sure I have a bunch of stuff I said to myself I would work on and I haven’t done them yet. </span><br />

Those titles were our first zines. On that day another committee member asked me if I wanted to join and I said ‘ok. I guess that’s happening.’ She could tell I was enthusiastic enough or organised enough, at least. And that was how that happened. </span><br />

One of my favourite zines is this one called ‘Chad.’ A chad is the little circle of paper that is cut out when you use a hole punch. The ‘Chad’ zine is little mini snap lock bags with a chad in them and it tells you where it came from, it could be a credit card, magazine, newspaper or a chip packet. It’s made by kimi, niko and co. They write some cool and interesting zine formats. I also really like Ezra from Dresden Street Distro. He makes listicle zines which is similar to what I do. He creates cool illustrations and design features. </span><br />

We will also make garlands and bunting to decorate your stall or room, and origami. If you can make it from paper you can do it at this workshop. I’m providing cool patterned paper for the garlands or bunting. Bunting doesn’t have to be triangles on a sting, it can be anything. </span><br />

When he was not on his lead and he could just walk around the studio he was really happy and wagging his tail which hit everybody in the legs. That really resonated with me, hitting everyone with my happiness. </span></div>

I work as a librarian at a school library and I'm very passionate about literature as an invaluable instrument of education. I’m enjoying that a lot at the moment. Being able to witness students discovering their identities at a rapid pace is fascinating and beautiful to watch! I get to represent a safe space for them where they can come to recharge, chat about life and discover great literature. I’m also passionate about diary writing. I write at least once a day and it helps me categorise my swirling thoughts. It's a cathartic practice for me. </span></div>

Other zines you can look out for...I really appreciate Esme Oliver's zines. There was one about self-diagnosis which helped me diagnose myself with mild depression and anxiety. It was empowering to take the reigns on my mental health and to put a label on it. That made me feel like I was owning and acknowledging it, properly. They also write about different forms of intelligence and how each form should be recognised, which is something I have always believed in. And ableism, which is a very important thing to educate yourself about. Other zines I appreciate- I really loved Nina Powells’ zines, I think she has really tapped into a very lyrical voice with her poetry zines and they’re beautiful. </span></div>

That’s going to be about free form poetry because I don’t really write rhyming poetry. I’m going to talk about how it’s empowering to express yourself in a poetic way and how I believe that if people allowed themselves to, pretty much anyone can write poetry. If the feelings are authentic, and if you write from the heart, raw and unselfconsciously, then that’s going to connect with someone. I don’t believe there are rules around poetry. </span></div>

That year was the first Zinefest I attended and I remember feeling incredibly shy and I left after a quick look around. It wasn’t until late 2014 that I got truly interested in zine making after I attended a workshop on how to distribute zines hosted by Claire Harris. It was there that I met Kylie and Tessa, who were working on a project called zine review, which they asked me to contribute to. Zine making is mainly about the community it creates and once I was introduced to that community it caused a snowball effect. I got most of my closest friends and my girlfriend, also a Zinefest committee member, into zine making as well. Within a year I had joined the Zinefest committee and produced many zines with my friends. I held my first stall at the winter market in 2015. It just hasn’t stopped from there. Zines are love, zines are life. </span></div>

My latest output was a two part zine totalling at about 8000 words, that was about a year of my life related to the music I was listening to at the time. That zine project was called ‘Back to the Future Islands’. I have also created some poetry and short story zines as a way to practice my writing and share it with people. Before I made zines I wouldn’t show my writing to anyone. The practice has made me a more confident writer. </span></div>

Kylie Buck was there selling her zines with Tessa and she picked up on my enthusiasm. She had helped establish the first Zinefest event and was in the loop about the status of the committee. She told me that they were expecting new people in early 2015. I went along to one of the earliest meetings with Cathy-Ellen and my friend Hamish, and I have been working with the committee ever since. </span></div>

I personally love the zines my friends have made because you have more context when you know the author, of course. Cathy’s zines are similar to mine in that they are very personal and emotional but she has a style that is distinctly different from my own work. As I’m a big fan of literary work, if you can get your hands on the Food Court zines from last year, you won’t regret it. They are all available at the library. </span></div>

Remember last year when there was that awesome Winter Zine Market at Thistle Hall?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px;">Well it's back again as part of Wellington Comic Con, this time on </span><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Saturday June the 4th!</span></b><span style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px;"> That’s the first day of Queen’s Birthday Weekend. Its in the top floor of</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> <b>Thistle Hall</b> </span><span style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px;">again (on the Southern end of Cuba Street for those who don’t know their way around Wellington) </span><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">starting at 12 and finishing at 5 pm</span></b><span style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px;">. Unfortunately it clashes with the Tauranga Zinefest but if you can’t get to that one</span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-size: 14px;"> then you can come to this one instead.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px;">The callout to zine makers is now open so if you want a space email</span><b> <span style="color: #cc0000;">celfbw@xtra.co.nz </span></b><span style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px;">Due to limited space we are only offering half tables which will cost a five dollar rental charge for the day. You can pay this money to me on the day. (Although there may be full spaces available closer to market day.)</span></div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So if you are interested, let me know:</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Your name and/or zine project name.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
How many seats you’ll need (either 1 or 2 for a half table)</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
and whether you’d be interested in a full table for $10 if space became available.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Thats all I can think of for now. Feel free to ask any questions and if I remember any more important information, I’ll let you know.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Cheers!</div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Hey Zine Enthusiasts! </span></h2>
Wellington Zinefest Committee members Ellen, Cathy and Hamish are running <b>Kids' Zine Workshops</b> as part of their public programme next month!<br />
Every Sunday at 2pm in September we'll be teaching kids how to make different types of zines, at the Wellington Museum on Jervois Quay.<br />
If you have or know of kids aged 8-12 who are budding writers, zine makers, creative geniuses, send them our way! We have a capacity of 10 kids, so book your space fast. Parents/Guardians are welcome to come along.<br />

<br />
This is just a quick post about the great French Art Shop. They are helping out the zinefest committee and are great for zine supplies. They have a sale on until the end of the month. Here's their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-French-Art-Shop-Wellington/163980436945444?fref=ts" target="_blank">facebook page</a> for more information.<br />
<br />
They have helped us out for the children's workshop we have planned for September. By the way, if you have any kids that would be interested in attending some zine workshops let me know by messaging the zinefest facebook page with the following <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wellingtonzinefest?fref=ts" target="_blank">link</a><br />
<br />
Also a reminder that the Winter Zine Market is this Saturday, the 18th of July, at Thistle Hall. Stall places are still available but get in quick.<br />

Applications for the Wellington Winter Zine Market on July 18 are now open! Spaces will allocated on a first applied first served basis. Because the Thistle hall space is a little bit smaller than the James Cabaret space, there will be fewer spaces available so get in quick. In order to cover the costs of table hire, and posters and other admin costs, there’ll be a $5 fee for stall holders, which you can pay on the day. Everyone will get half a large trestle table. There’ll be no full-<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">table spaces available so if have a lot of zines to sell, you may need to leave some at home. If there is enough space for us to have a full table we’ll let you know before the market. There are a couple of small tables available that someone can occupy and those are available to people that turn up early.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.466667175293px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
The zine market opens at 12 pm noon so you’ll need to be there sometime between 11 and 11.50 am to set up. If you find that you need to cancel, let us know as soon as you can, so that we can notify the next person on the waiting list. In order to make the zine market as comfortable as possible we would prefer not to have more than 3 people behind a table at any one time. At a squeeze we can maybe fit 4 people behind a table but if there’s a large group of you, consider taking turns behind the table instead of cramming everyone in at once.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Email them to celfbw@xtra.co.nz. What we would to know in your application is your name, contact details, the name of your zine or organisation, and whether you need seating for 1 or 2 people (so that if there’s 2 of you, we’ll get you to share a table with 1 person sitting their space and vice versa). And also please remember that the zine market is for people who want to sell (or swap) predominantly zines/small print/ self-published material so if you want to sell mostly other things please consider selling them somewhere else.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So yeah, get in quick. It’ll be awesome!</div>

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333339691162px;">
1991. Wow, that date scares me. But that's when it started.</div>

<div>
<b>Primarily you’ve been a writer of comics with other people drawing them. How many many artists have you collaborated with over the years? Who have you collaborated with the most?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have collaborated with so many artists I wouldn't know where to start counting. One recent project (Duck and Quail) had ten artists alone. At a guess somewhere between fifty and a hundred people. Recently, the most numerous collaborations have been with an artist from somewhere in the UK who only identifies himself as Skreem.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>How many issues of Pistake did you produce? And when did you stop making them?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There were 12 issues of Pistake, the last one in 1994.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpnwosA6N_DruZo1mqhynxnGDTRKHGC12qe2y5qnZQb2BkoRRPLS4kHIJ8fOsc1hMJCE0SlvyIi6Q85QZBTDbKKvx97Oi-5m4thYW3FSA5W-bn6XzW4EdWlo7OzAbngqZBwvb_eO0gKbKa/s1600/mickey_house.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpnwosA6N_DruZo1mqhynxnGDTRKHGC12qe2y5qnZQb2BkoRRPLS4kHIJ8fOsc1hMJCE0SlvyIi6Q85QZBTDbKKvx97Oi-5m4thYW3FSA5W-bn6XzW4EdWlo7OzAbngqZBwvb_eO0gKbKa/s1600/mickey_house.jpg" height="320" width="225" /></a><b>Before you started your website, did you publish any other comics or zines outside of Pistake?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After Pistake finished Straitjacket Ninja had a story in Corn Stone's UFO#1, and the nutty ninja was also published in the US by Kitchen Sink in an anthology title. But aside from that I wrote only prose for a while that ended up in a variety of publications from the School Journal to US textbooks on the History of Science.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Is it easier to self-publish now than when you started?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes and no. Yes, you can web-publish easier. No, printing was cheaper in the 90s. All the early Pistakes were photocopied for next to nothing, which is why we sold them for next to nothing. Now even printer ink is expensive, making physical self-publishing a problem.</div>

<a href="http://www.virtuallycomics.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.virtuallycomics.com</a> Um, it started a few years ago now ... not sure exactly when. 2011?</div>

<div>
<b>Do you use your website to promote your printed material or is it the other way round?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To promote my website. I can make some cents out of my website. I lose some dollars from the printed material.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>You have two major works involving Playmobil figures, One of which is Utterly Rucked which I believe is available as a six booklet set. Will you be selling this at Zinefest? and can you give some background information on it?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Utterly Rucked is a horror/whodunnit/comedy about a rugby team getting slaughtered one-by-one while touring NZ. It was done after watching a terrible Australian cricket horror movie, and me saying I could have written something better that that. My wife said, "Okay then, prove it." My family helped me make the comic by sewing little rugby jerseys, making props, and helping with the photo shoots. It will be available at Zinefest, along with some postcards.</div>

Whats that about? And how many pages is it now? Are there any plans to print that out or is it too big?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Character Development is a fantasy parody tale, currently on hiatus. It's over 1200+ pages, so too big to print. There will be a sampler comic available at Zinefest that has three episodes that make up the Game of Scones storyline. New pages of Character Development will start being posted again in 2015.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Your current project appears to be ‘All unicorns to battle stations’, which you draw your self. Can you tell the readers something about that project?</b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It should be subtitled "David learns how to draw". It's main purpose is to make me draw everyday. It started out as 'cute' tales of my family, but now various other random things squeeze themselves in there as well, such as a celebrity agent who is managing Jesus on his second coming, and some animals fighting aliens on the moon. Two collections of AUtBS will be on sale at Zinefest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Do you have any other zines on sale that you’d like to bring to our reader’s attention?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I'll be selling some other bits a pieces, including Tortured Plastic, which was a one-off collection of various collaborations with three artists. Duck and Quail, which collects 80 strips that appeared on the Drunk Duck website, drawn by ten different artists. There should also be some other stuff if I get myself sorted out in time.</div>

For over a year now, we've met every Friday lunchtime to talk feminism. We're primarily a discussion group (current events, theories, personal stories) but also have advocacy intentions and try to be active with our feminism. About 25 people regularly come to meetings and we have a facebook group of 200.

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">It's a tricky thing to narrow down, as feminism means something different to everyone but generally I'd say our perspective on modern feminism is that it must be intersectional and accessible. Oppression exists across multiple axis and all forms are interlinked. Understanding the complex relationship between oppression and privilege is key. I think it's also important when trying to tackle any scenario of inequality to think about the big picture and the context which lead to the situation. As teenage girls in New Zealand we try to balance our focus on both global ideas and local issues that effect us. Feminism is both a way of seeing the world and seeing yourself. Therefore, FeminEast aims to make positive change on a community level but also to empower the individual. We want teenage girls to feel validated and important and understanding Feminist ideology greatly effects self-assurance. Often when faced with sexism it's hard to know what to say. The great thing about having regular discussions, is that the students learn the language to describe their experiences with inequality. This means they are able to vocalise their thoughts and express themselves which is hugely empowering.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">As an overall definition though, I'd say feminism is an active desire for gender equality and equity. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;"><b>3. Does your club focus solely on feminist zine-making or are there other activities you do together?</b></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">Zines are a bi-product of our learning. We run the group by splitting the year into topics, investigating the ideas and then presenting our findings into zines. We've made zines two different ways. Our 'Intro to Feminism' and 'Gender Roles' zines were carefully structured to communicate to our audience. About 10 girls were involved in making a different page for these zines. Our other zine was made in a collaborative session where (aided by Cute Bruiser) we all made a page to contribute to a zine that expressed what feminism meant to us. So yeah, zines are an extra thing we do. Aside from discussions, as a group we've organised guest speakers for the school, gone to the End Domestic Violence protest, attended various gender equality events around Wellington and done charity work (including donating to Shakti Women's Refuge and raising $1028 for SHE28). We also have a lot of pizza parties, shared lunches and have fun. </span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;"><b>4. Why did you start using the zine format to explore critical topics like feminism?</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">I got into zines the same time as I got into feminism, so in my mind they've always been connected. Stemming for Riot Grrrl and evolving into the modern day feminist zines have been a way for people to publish ideas independently. I think it's amazing that a group of teenage girls can come up with a concept, express it and distribute it. It's incredibly validating to see your own ideas validated into print. It's pure expression. In a society where so much media is told from a male perspective or unconventional ideas are censored, the independency of zines is invaluable. Also zines are so fun! They are creative, cute and accessible. Our school peers are far more likely to read a colourful booklet with images and stickers and handwritten ideas than a block of text on feminism. Zines were the perfect medium for FeminEast because they could be made entirely by teenage girls and would be read by teenage girls. </span></span><br />

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">Once we've used the dregs of our allocated printing money/ hacked some unused printing accounts and had a folding workshop, we distribute our zines to the school. We advertise to the students and then take them around to classes for a few days. We usually ask for koha to help cover printing costs. I'd say we give out about 200. The zines don't just stay at East either, they filter out into the wider community. Friends at other Wellington schools (of all genders) often ask for them and we've got some at the library. Zines are a unique medium, because they are special enough not to want to chuck out but unlike a book that you feel a need to keep. People are very good at passing zines on, a brilliant way of sharing the knowledge without having to waste on too much printing. There is something special about a physical piece of media. It's somewhat of a novelty, which means people are more likely to read it rather than ignore an email. In saying that, we intend to upload our zine to a blog so that anyone, anywhere, anytime can see it.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;"><b>6. What advise would you give to other secondary school students who would like to start up a similar club?</b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">GO FOR IT! FeminEast has been a 100% positive experience. Many students were already quiet feminist and plenty of the ones who weren't have started coming along to meetings. Our principal commented the other day that FeminEast has changed the attitudes of the school, because even those who don't have anything to do with the group know it's there. Starting a feminist club raises the profile of feminism and shows that it's important, which has a great ripple effect among peers. There are lots of Feminist clubs in Wellington schools and I've had people at Wellington College talk about starting something similar which is a huge change. So if this sounds like something you'd be keen to do I'd completely reccomend it. Three bits of advice:</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">-Because feminism addresses controversial issues, as leaders in a school environment you need to make sure the group is a safe, open place. Occasionally we've had to avoid certain discussions, or mediate a bit of tension. It's completely natural, just something to be aware of.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">- Reinforce the basics. This can be hard, because if you're someone who knows a lot about feminism you're going to be keen to delve into the complex questions. However you're likely to have a constant stream of newcomers, often wih veery little prior knowledge. Keep linking deeper ideas back to the simple fundamentals and define terminology often. This way your club will be accessible.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">- Have fun with it! Don't let it become a stressful or negative experience because it will tarnish peoples association with feminism. Part of feminism is being fulfilled and happy and proud of who you are, so little exercises which enhance this are a good way to keep the group positive. For example last week we had a cupcake icing session, loosely based on the idea that 'you make the decision over how you look'. Frivolous but fun. This will attract more people to the group, and establish a strong community of friends. </span></span></div>

I keep wanting to copy this idea, but anyway it's a really good idea. When I was going through my zines I found a cool one by <a href="http://alicemayconnolly.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Alice May Connolly</a> called 'Cat' which is writing and it's cool. I like the zine where <a href="http://yourjokesarealwaysbad.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Eamonn</a> got people to draw pictures of him too.</span></span></span>Wellington Zinefesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07182301160023897518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482168089810588286.post-38354847520977567582014-10-21T16:09:00.001+13:002014-10-21T16:09:37.009+13:00Zinefest Stall Holder Interview<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
Thirteen-year-old Zora Patrick has been
making zines for almost five years. In 2011 she won Wellington Zinefest’s ‘Best
of the Fest’ trophy, and in 2012 was invited to the 2012 KOMACON (children’s
comic competition) in Bucheon, Korea. Zora and her zine-making younger sisters
Oki (9) and Dune (8), whose work was also recently included in the exhibition <i>Small Press</i> at RAMP Gallery in Hamilton,
will be talking about ideas for zines, zine-making techniques, and presenting
some of their favourite creations. This workshop aims to encourage children to
participate in zine-making and introduce them to Wellington Zinefest, and will
include a session of zine-making with materials provided by Wellington Zinefest
and the Wellington City Library.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

Monoprinting is a fast and flexible way to
introduce colour, design and expressive line-work into your zines. Try a range
of monoprinting techniques that can easily be practised at home – no printing
press or expensive paper required. Learn how to add spot colour to black and
white covers and pages, create one-off or repeat prints and utilise patterns,
lettering and stencils. Materials supplied, but bring along imagery and zine
ideas for inspiration and different paper types to trial. And wear old clothes!
