Salford University students visit exhibition.

Fashion tutor Elizabeth Moss and her students recently visited the exhibition at Salford Museum and Art Gallery and watched a screening of the Salford Zine Library film as a starting point for a Zine making project. Salford Zine Library's Craig John Barr was on hand to talk about the archive and answer the students questions about self-publishing.

University of Salford Styling And Image Making:

Self- publishing talk and film showing in Manchester



Shift Magazine- How to start your own publication  + Salford Zine Library film showing.



OK Cafe

6-7.30pm, Tuesday 25th Ocober.



The OKasional Cafe is squatted space which will hold a daily cafe, regular vegan meals and function as a radical space for meetings, organising actions, workshops and events.

It’s at 362 Wilmslow Rd, directly opposite the Ram & Shackle pub inFallowfield, a large red brick building with a ramp up to the front door.

Good Fuzzy Sounds

"It covers my own first experiences of fuzz and diy pedal-building, a detailed two-part history of early fuzzy sounds on records up to 1961, leading to the Maestro Fuzztone in the US and the Tone Bender in the UK, the growth of internet fuzz geek networks, the mythology of the mojo transistor, and interviews with Pepe Rush, an early fuzz innovator on the London scene, and Devi Ever, graduate of the internet DIY pedal scene and modern fuzz goodess. Plus 'my favourite fuzz', a true life story comic strip, drawings of all 33 of my fuzz pedals, and fuzz luminaries such as Gary Hurst, Vic Flick, Big Joe Sullivan, Lee Hazlewood, Glenn Snoddy, Craig Anderton and many more. It's all fuzz, all the time, printed in red on beautiful pale blue paper. It even explains what fuzz is if you don't happen to know. It's a winner!"

Salford Zine Library on You Tube!

Quantum Whatever


Quantum Whatever was a zine-style “creative journal” by and for Honors Program students at Iowa State University. Originally a hybrid newsletter, QW eventually dropped the
newsletter content and featured mostly poetry, fiction, drawings and photography. 

Matt Kuhns designed a new format as part of a relaunch in 1998, and
produced the layout for three issues. The journal folded a year or so, later;
upon reading of the "Revenge of Print" event/challenge this year Matt Kuhns decided to
participate by reviving QW for one more issue. With contributions from Danielle
Hughson, Matt's colleague from the original QW, Matt designed and published "Quantum
Whatever: The Broken Circle" with a modest print run in September, 2011.

Matt Kuhns is a freelance graphic designer based in Cleveland, Ohio.

Polly Brannan

Polly has been publishing her own fanzines for the last 7 years. It started through her involvement as an artist with  the arts and architect collective public works, through working on a regeneration project in South Kilburn, London, Polly became increasingly frustrated by the lack of local voice in the community magazine initiated through the local council in the end Polly decided it was about time to publish a community led zine 'Stand Aside' dealing with local ideas, questions, thoughts and visions of their local area-from covering fashion on the estates to publishing a zine of an elder residents doodles. The zine ran for a couple of years and had 8 issues.

Since that moment she has continued to make her own zines through her art collective Avant Gardening, a series was produced as part of the exhibition 'Radical Nature' at the Barbican looking at how the local nature and fauna worked with and shaped the architecture of the Barbican. 'Green on the Move' was published as part of the London Festival of Architecture. The zine SQUARES was made with young people as part of the Collaborations programme at the artist led gallery, Studio Voltaire. SEAZINE was made in conjunction with the Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate looking at the connection between local residents of Margate and the sea landscape surrounding them.

Romka


Romka is a magazine devoted to personal favorite photographs. Unlike most other formats, in which artists showcase highlights of their portfolio or most recent work in order to promote themselves, Romka is an opportunity to discover pictures that really matter: the print from your fridge, the portrait of your lover that you always keep in your wallet, pictures of places you love and memories you want to cherish forever. Since all this has nothing to do with a commercial photographic career, Romka treats amateurs and professionals alike. The project started off as an online magazine in 2008 and finally made it to print with Issue #5.

KAORI MITSUSHIMA



Born in 1979 in Tokyo, Japan, Kaori has also lived in Berlin, Prague, and New York City. She currently lives in a small college town in Oberlin, Ohio, with her filmmaker husband - Mika Johnson - and their two cats: Pon Pon & Arais, the white cat (a.k.a. Rikun-Taro).
Kaori's paintings, illustrations, and sound collages are inspired by both the animals and plants around her and classical images from Japanese and Western art. After co-founding Arcanum Press with poet Peter Hlinka, the two artists collaborated on two zines, My Shadow is a Cat and Rose-Eaters, which juxtapose poetry with visual art. In the past year, she has joined two group shows in Tokyo where three of her pieces were exhibited. Kaori is also playing the lead role in AMERIKA: a notebook in three parts, an in-development feature film.
