The Gallery and the Hub
Free
On Sat Feb 1, we’re running free drawing, collage, writing and badge making stations inspired by the lo-fi, alternative and activist tradition of zinemaking. We’ll also have a photobooth by BENT’s experimental photographer Liz Platova. Everything we make together can be included in an upcoming collaborative issue of BENT zine. Zero skills required. Facilitated by Liam Goulter, Andrew McCauley, Liz Platova and Charlotte Page.
