WTS ZINE FAIR 2024
Poster by Seraphina
The Watch this Space collective would like to invite you to Zine Fest, Zine Fair opening night and WTS’ annual Zine Fair 2024, all held at the WTS gallery on 23 April - 27 April.
A zine is an inherently political tool of self expression spreading messages of politics, poetry, practical tips and broken hearts for centuries. Piracy does not exist in the world of zines, and zines hold significant history in spreading revolutionary propaganda. Zines are a cure against registered authorship; it can be a self-published story, comic, poster, single-page drawing, open letter, photo journal, flip book, brochure, postcard, sticker, manifesto, audio-zine, web-zine etc… The model for making is DIY and you don’t need any experience as a writer, artist or human being.

Zine Fair
Saturday 27 April 10 am - 2 pm
The WTS gallery will transform into a marketplace of zines from here, there, and far off places. All zines participating in the fair will be sold on the collective tables through a very simple system: you drop your zines off to WTS anytime/day during opening hours before 10am on Fair day, along with a price tag, and bank transfer details. No cash on site - soz.
