start

- Mujinga: Creative writing in English. (16:30 - 18:30)
An interactive session discussing various ways to write text for zines. We'll get into the motivation for writing zines, discuss perzines and go further into the future. We will aim to make a zine this evening from scratch. Pens, paper, typewriters and copy machines are available, but also bring your favourite writing tools.

- Idris van Heffen: Do the Werkman. (15:30 - 17:30)
The Dutch graphic artist and printer Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman born in 1882 in the North of the Netherlands, is known for his colourful graphics playfully named ‘Druksels’ (literally translated ‘pressings’). In 20 years time Werkman produced over 2000 ‘Druksels’ until he was executed by the Germans near the end of World War II.
In ‘Do the Werkman’ workshop we will explore the graphic cut-out and stencil techniques Werkman used for his ‘Druksels’ and produce never seen before zines.

- Mark Prendergast: Mask. (17:45 - 19:45)
A visual exploration into photocopier techniques, with your face. Using various shapes to ‘mask’ out areas of the copier, participants will squish their faces on to the glass to create colourful, abstract, geometric, distorted, ’mask’ portraits. We will investigate some of the various image-making techniques possible on a copier, specifically masking and overprinting.

- Patricia de Sousa: Misprint-it. (15:30 - 17:30)
Misprint-it is a Rotterdam-based platform working with artists’ books, performance and sound. Most of the gatherings take place as workshops where the main idea is to encourage participants to develop ‘book concepts’ departing from the most varied materials and techniques.

- Florian Cramer (15:30 - 17:30)
Zines don't need be printed matters, but can also be electronic. Since the 1980s, subcultural electronic zines ("e-zines") have been published and spread via computer networks, floppy disks and USB sticks. They are based on the same ethos as print zines: personal or community-oriented, small, DIY, made with simple means. In this workshop, we'll explore a number of ways of making an electronic zine - from the classical ASCII plain text zine to simple but clever technologies like single-HTML-file zines.

14:45 - 15:30. Talk about project Bibliotheca (Yoana Buzova, André Castro, Max Dovey, Michaela Lakova, Roel Roscam Abbing, Lasse van den Bosch Christensen). Bibliotecha is a framework to facilitate the local distribution of digital publications within a small community. It relies on a microcomputer running open-source software to serve books over a local wifi hotspot. Using the browser to connect to the library one can retrieve or donate texts. Bibliotecha proposes an alternative model of distribution of digital texts that allows specific communities to form and share their own collections.

ZINE CAMP 2014. Video and photo documentation from Florian Cramer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zines are DIY periodicals, traditionally self-published on printed format. They've been published by science-fiction, music and soccer fans, political dissenters, activists, or just people who want to share ideas or aspects of their personal life. Most zines are grassroots products of underground, fringe or alternative publishing and distribution and have been largely ignored by mainstream publishing. However, this is by no means restrictive to what a zine can be. Experimentation with form, technical execution, concept, or (ideological) function is more than welcome to open up the possibilities of what a zine can be today.

ZINE CAMP 2015 OPEN CALLS

STALLS
We are looking for participants to show / sell zines or self-published books on available tables (for free!). We are open to interesting installation ideas.

DONATION FOR ZINE FOREST
If you can’t make it on the day you can send in your zine for the zine forest, a hanging zine exhibition where visitors can hang up their zines as well!

Every ten Conversas, a publication is made. This works as an archive of all participants’ content within the scope of Conversas. It is an object-memory of all these encounters, conversations and people. Conversas was initiated in Lisbon by Constança Saraiva and Mafalda Fernandes, in 2012. Nowadays, it's a project of many people and cities. www.conversas.net
