Zine Makers in Residence:
Thursday 24th Oct, Annie Pocalpyse
“I'm Annie Pocalypse and I make zines about my experiences of addiction and madness, but not just. My previous bio used to say when I'm not making zines, I can be found riding a bike, hugging my dog or crying in the pharmacy. But now my dog is dead, so I can be found crying over him and hugging the pharmacist, who at some point offered to come deliver my meds to my door (which he does.) Currently I'm chilling making zines about my favourite funny quotes from my favourite comfort shows.”
Saturday 26th Oct, thelionsmouth
thelionsmouth is an Edinburgh-based zine maker, zine editor and zine librarian. Her zines are about queer and sadomasochistic sexuality, Madness and fairy tales.
Sunday 27th Oct, Beth Hamilton
Beth Hamilton is a participatory artist, storyteller and maker, based in Fife. She was recently diagnosed with autism and has been exploring what this means to her through writing, doodling, collaging, sewing and creating zines.
