​

Zines were instrumental in the evolution of third-wave feminism during the 1990s. Subversive and political, they gave women a voice away from the mainstream press, supporting an alternative culture of radical creation and dignity. Radical zines such as the collaborative punk-rock Riot Grrrl spread manifestos and messages of solidarity that became war cries, not only for women but also to the disenfranchised. 

​Through this workshop, we will discuss the influence of self-publishing as a tool for empowerment. Learn what it takes to create a zine, including tools, layout, content, printing/binding, distribution, and more. Collaborating with a group, participants walk away not only with a new understanding of DIY culture but also with a zine they helped make! This Zines & Feminism Workshop is suitable for all ages and genders. Participation is free and materials will be provided.

​At UNLV, parking on Saturday is always free in all metered, staff, and student spots.
