Perth Zine Collective

While most of us were browsing zines and eating icy pops at the Let Them Eat Zines festival, a creative crew of courtyard artists were making zines and other artwork! Here’s just a sample…

New zines uploaded to the website for December!

Go get ‘em!

Hey everyone!

We are looking for some wonderful, altruistic people to help out with our zine festival Let Them Eat Zines (https://www.facebook.com/events/345997405495660/). The festival will take place on the 24th of November at Paper Mountain (267 William St, Northbridge). Volunteers are needed to help set up between 8:00am and 10:30am and pack up between 5:30pm and 8:00pm and will be treated to an awesome gift (e.g. zine showbag, festival tote bag) to thank them for them time. If you’re interested, flick us an e-mail at perthzinecollective@gmail.com with your name, availabilities (morning, evening or both) and a contact number before Monday the 12th of November.

Hope to see you there!

Love,
Aunty Mabel

During This Is Nowhere, Aunty Mabel’s Zine Distro will be shining with FIERCE ZINE GLORY in the foyer of the Dolphin Theatre! Please come and visit us! We will be very happy to see you.

The Rad Library needs your help! Please see the information below.

The Rad Library is seeking volunteers to help run things – we are a mobile community library that sets up in Hyde Park each Sunday between 1-5, you can find us either at the Pagoda closest to the stage or at the stage. As a lot of the original members have moved on we are frequently a little short of people to run it! So if you’re free on a Sunday just drop down and have a look at our collection of Radical books & Zines – yes, we have them too!

You can get in touch with The Rad Library by emailing the.rad.library AT gmail DOT com.

Aunty Mabel, the Perth Zine Collective and 1UP Microcinema are proud to present the very first Zine Social. It will be a wonderful evening of zine love.

We would love you to join us to hang out, talk zines and watch $100 and a T-shirt: A Documentary About Zines in the Northwest. Entry for the film is $10.

When? 25 May 2012
When?
6:30pm – informal zine readings
7:45pm – “$100 and a T-shirt” screening
Where? 1UP Microcinema, 312b William St, Northbridge

$100 and a T-shirt by Joe Biel & Phil Sano
“A cultural analysis of what causes zine makers to tick; what the hell zines are, why people make zines, the origin of zines, the resources and community available for zine makers, and the future of zines. Interviews with about 70 zine makers, ex-zine makers, and readers from the northwest. Featuring footage of the Portland Zine Symposium, other zine related events, and activities bringing zine culture to life. An original documentary with over 64 hours of footage for people with a new interest in zines as well as pros and novices. The video sparks untapped creativity and new interest into zine making and reading.”

Looking forward to seeing you there!

dotdotdash and The Perth Zine Collective invite you to submit to Fingerprint – issue 10 of dotdotdash!

Fingerprint is a special zine issue of dotdotdash. Rather than submitting creative writing or art to the magazine, you are invited to submit a zine.

Every zine in Fingerprint needs to be printed, drawn, scanned, inked or marked in some way with a fingerprint. This fingerprint can be your own or your pet’s. It could even simply be metaphorical. As long as it’s an image that relates, it will be okay.

Click here to check out the poster for more info on how to submit.

Submissions close 7th May 2012.

‘Look at us; we are, sincerely!’ is a new Perth-based single sheet zine looking for contributions!

The theme of the first volume is Horrific and Touching, hoping to print in either April or May of this year. Can you say something horrific and touching in just one sentence? ‘look at us’ is looking to have a section dedicated to just one sentence submissions. Feel free to email any you have to wearesincerely@gmail.com

You can have a look at their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/Lookatus

Much love,
Aunty Mabel

The Perth Zine Collective will be running a workshop at the Inglewood library on Friday as part of the Summerset Arts Festival. From the Summerset Arts Festival website (http://www.stirling.wa.gov.au/summersetfestival/library_events.html):

“Ever wanted to have your say and get your point across? Sure there are blogs, but zines are funky, retro, kitschy ways to explore your passions, your creativity and your ideas. The workshop will start with an introduction into zines, followed by making your own, and then reproducing and sharing them.”

Date: Friday 3 February
Time : 3.30pm – 5.00pm
Venue: Inglewood Library
Cost: $5.50
Phone: 9205 7700
Ages: 10 – 16

We hope you can swing by, have fun and make some zines!

As part of Processed! (http://www.facebook.com/events/343274425702103/), a series of short-term exhibitions and workshops at Free Range Gallery, the Perth Zine Collective is delighted to host a 24-hour Extreme Zine Making Marathon!

The marathon will be split over two 12-hour sessions:

Saturday 4 February: 9:30am-9:30pm
Sunday 5 February: 9:30am-9:30pm

If there’s an idea for a zine kicking about in your head that you haven’t yet put down on paper, or if you’re a newcomer to zine culture, or if you just love fun, creative company, now’s your chance! We’d be super delighted if you could join us. Materials (stationery, paper, photocopier, long-arm stapler) will be provided, but feel free to bring your own supplies. Selections from Aunty Mabel’s Zine Distro will also be available for browsing and buying.

You can follow the event on FB here: https://www.facebook.com/events/374669495892182/
We hope to see you there!

Love,

The Perth Zine Collective
