This workshop leans on principles of reciprocity and hospitality; sharing tools, methods and processes for making zines on the in-house Riso printer, to ‘map’ materials in the exhibition in situated, subjective ways that correspond with each participant’s interests. Led by co-curators Yvonne Billimore, Lily Hall and Jussi Koitela.
Exhibition continues 25 January-18 March 2023
