*WORKSHOP DETAILS (SCROLL DOWN FOR THE WORKSHOP SCHEDULE)

There's no right or wrong way to make a zine. ZINES are DIY, self-published productions. They allow for lots of experimentation. ZINES can be FILLED with ANYTHING: words, drawings, illustrations, lovers' letters, photos, a coffee drop, a fingerprint, a leaf, a peacock feather, your dreadlock, or even a blank space... ZINES can be PRINTED on ANYTHING: paper, fabric, balloons… ZINES can be short, long, giant, tiny... 

ZINES can be about EVERYTHING. However, in the frame of the PLAYTIME Festival, we want to focus on a CITY THEME: urbanism, plantscapes, landscapes, architecture, typology, memories, personal stories, the living, the dead, the unborn… the personal cities that each of us carry around in our heads. Each participant will create a zine about their personal city, each with its own name and identity. At the end of the workshop, we will collect all the cities we make into one publication.

The completed zines will join the festival's closing party exhibition on July 29 and have a chance of being selected for Made In Vietnam Zine's third issue.

Please donate 60k (if you are students - please bring along your student card) or 120k (if you're not student) to join the workshop and receive your own copy of the group publication. (No one will be refused because of lack of funds — please note this on your registration and we’ll consider a sponsorship). The fees go toward zine-making material and publication printing.

We will supply pens, papers, colors, collage materials, but bring along anything you want to put on your zines (even a weird object) and your ideas! (We will also give you some new ones.)
