Quote from author’s website: “Egg Box Publishing's monthly collaborative zine for October 2016. Based on the title 'Maps' members submitted content which was put together, edited and designed by Egg Box Publishing.

"Migraine research is underfunded, GPs undertrained, support within society minimal, and the condition consistently misunderstood, ridiculed and undermined. 11 artists, including myself, have put forward a creative response for this zine. We are all based in Scotland, but geography aside, we all have migraine and a creative outlook in common. Responses were varied in tone and content, yet each was an emotive and humbling thing to receive. People are being generous with their honesty here." Emily Chappell, zine intro.

Minizine
Industrie Museum Gent - To accompany the Printing Exhibit
Belgium 2023
Publishing Info:
Folding minizine.
Laserprinted on arrival in the exhibit.
Description:
There is a colour laser printer at the entrance to the printing technology exhibit in the Industry Museum in Ghent, Belgium.
Visitors to the exhibit can print their own personalised copy (adding a name and title) then as they walk around the printing presses and other artefacts there are six stages where they can stop and add to their zine. The stages encourage the visitor to draw type, add colour stickers, rubber stamps and embossing. Each element supports information about printing technology.
A lovely way to engage visitors and elicit interaction and attention.

Manifest No.4: Crickets
Jen Payne
'Storytelling is in our DNA says Brené Brown in her book Rising Strong.

Crickets be damned!' (author's website)

'Einstein said time is an illusion, that time and space are merely “modes by which we think.” But, if you think too hard on that you end up down rabbit holes and worm holes. Want to come along?' From creator's website

“Digitally printed from original screen prints and graphite drawings. This reversible zine uses the two possible aspect rations of the book format to explore the two main archetypes of female representation in western art history. In redrawing the images by hand I imbue them with a new personality while engaging the traditional cornerstone of arts education: copying the masters. However the goal here isn’t to reproduce a quality or style, it’s to mock the cannon.”
Sarah Evenson (They/Them) is a genderqueer printmaker/illustrator/zinester whose colorful work explored gender, sexuality, the interplay of text and image in the creation of both humor and narrative, and the role narrative plays in the creation of personal and cultural identities.Link to Instagram: @saltysweetsarah
