Brooklyn Zine-In: Make Zines, Make History
Whatcha mean, What's a ZINE? A zine is a self-created and self-published work. Typically made using Do-It-Yourself methods of collage, drawing, stamping, and using found materials. Zines can be about anything and can be made by anyone!
Join us in partnership with Booklyn, Inc. for a Brooklyn Zine-In where you will learn how to make your own zine, pick up free copies of zines and limited edition stickers, view special zine-related materials from the Center for Brooklyn History's collection and contribute to the Brooklyn Zine-In Community Zine, a collection of stories from BPL staff and patrons. All zine-making materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring any of your own images, stickers, stamps, markers, or other materials that you'd like to use.
Registration is encouraged, but not required.
