Workshop | Fanzine Workshop with Susan Cianciolo
Tues | 7pm
Susan Cianciolo is known for her work in design, fashion, filmmaking and installation, and has also produced many zines and ‘kits’ over the course of her career which emphasize customization, a DIY approach to design, and a collaborative spirit of production. Emphasizing the social bonds that are often related to publishing, Cianciolo will lead a fanzine workshop, in which she will demonstrate a basic formula for creating a recycled collage fanzine. Cianciolo will talk participants through a selection of her own self-published books and zines, and will offer participants materials from her studio to make their own fanzines. Materials included.
