Interested in exploring eating disorder activism in creative ways? Want to find out more about collective advocacy? Come and join this free zine-making workshop hosted by the Seen But Not Heard collective advocacy for people with lived experiences of eating disorders.
What is a Zine? Zines are a DIY, self-published piece of self-expression. The term can be traced back to the 1920’s/30’s, but activist-led self-publishing has existed for centuries. Today zines are still used as acts of resistance, and in the mental health community they encourage self-expression and activism.
Using the theme of ‘Eating Disorders: Through my eyes’, this workshop will provide all the materials you need and guide you through the process of making a zine. As a mix of writing and collage, there’s no previous skills required, just you and your experiences!
