Explicit Zines

  • Centre for Contemporary Arts 350 Sauchiehall Street Glasgow, Scotland, G2 3JD United Kingdom (map)

Suitable for ages 18+

We can censor, content warn, or hide them behind a velvet curtain, but no matter what we choose, erotic and pornographic content will remain a part of our society. This workshop will discuss and interrogate how the more risqué items of a zine (or any) collection can be handled, maintained and accessible. Participants will get “handsy” with real examples and lively discussions about how to fit these items into their collection.

This workshop is for people who are sex positive and pro-porn.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Pornography themes and materials throughout

This event is part of Glasgow Zine Fest 2023.
