Zine Club x Samandal: Barrack Zailaa Rima

Let your creativity roam free and create zines together. Bring your own drawing materials. Bring your friends.

Zine Club has been going strong for over five years. To mix things up, every season will be hosted by a creative collective. This season's host is Samandal Comics. Every session, they ask a different zine maker to provide inspiration, talk about their work and draw along. This week, that's Barrack Zailaa Rima.

What are zines?

Zines (as in 'magazine' or 'fanzine') are homemade booklets of texts, collages and/or illustrations. They're a playground for young literary and graphic talent and are usually self-published, using an old-fashioned Xerox machine.
