On the weekend of 24-25th May, WORM, PrintRoom and Rekult present Zine Camp, an open workspace connecting like-minded zinesters and newbies from Rotterdam to national/international zinesters and newbies. The aim is to make zines* together, but also to provide a space and place to socialize and collaborate in an attempt to discover and foster a growing community of zine-makers in the NL. Everyone is welcome and entrance is free so no excuses! Drop by!

This event is part of WORMs broader theme this month - Underground Publishing.

It is also initiated by WORM and Creating 010

*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, i.e audio zine, film zine, super 8 zine, etc.

===locations===
Zine Camp is a collaboration between WORM, PrintRoom and Rekult and is held at two Locations.

WORM
WORM will offer its space to provide a stage, lots of working spaces, materials, workshops and a place to present your creations on the spot. Also the WORM shop will arrange a special collection to match with Zine Camp.

WORM is the main venue of Zine Camp. WORM, Institute for Avantgardistic Recreation, is a venue and workspace for DIY experimental music, club events, talks, film and media hacking. 

PrintRoom 
PrintRoom presents a variety of zine-collections with diverse material from different zine-scenes, contemporary as well as historical. A program of talks by collectors reveal some special zine-interests as diverse and quirky as: Mexican Punk, Neoist, Queer-Zines and Anarcho-Esoterica.

PrintRoom is a presentation space and shop dedicated to artists' publications. The space hosts talks, presentations, book launches, and workshops that explore artistic strategies of independent publishing. PrintRoom also houses a risography stencil workspace.

ReKult
For Zine Camp ReKult organises the 'Zine Forest', a participatory exhibition including some of their large collection. ReKult will also arrange a number of stalls where zines can be bought, sold or swapped.
 
ReKult is a not for profit association offering an open platform which contributes to the development of society through socio-cultural and artistic projects and activities. ReKult has been responsible for the Amsterdam Zine Jam

Workshops Sunday 25th

--- ZINE ONE: INSERT TEXT HERE by Basje Boer & Chantal Rens @ PrintRoom. 14:00 - 17:00
Artist Chantal Rens and writer Basje Boer, who both flirt with the absurd on a regular basis, have the necessary experience with do-it-yourself publishing. During this workshop they will combine practical tips on how to put together a zine with stimulating ideas on imaginative content, the main question being: How do you combine text with images? What playful or innovative ways can we think up to do this?

--- Instant Zine @ WORM by Charlotte Tasma. 15:00 - 16:45
Make your own zine without even using the stapler!
In this workshop you will make a small zine with a simple folding method. Tell your own little story about your life and share it with the others at Zine Camp. It's fun, and so easy you can make one of your favourite moment each day! Please contact Charlotte to inscribe or for questions: charlottetasma@gmail.com

---Bookbinding @ WORM by Julie Thissen. 15:00 - 18:00
This workshop is about bookbinding and learning how to get the most out of the basic binding techniques. With a minimum amount of tools and machines you will learn how to make professional looking (small) books. The workshop will present you with the theory and practice needed to master the basics. You’ll be surprised by the wide range of high quality results you can obtain with just these basic but precise techniques. These will enable you to further explore bookbinding autonomously.

All the tools and materials will be provided for the workshop but if you have prints or special types of paper that you’ve always wanted to turn into a book, bring them along!
10-13 people maximum. Please contact Julie to inscribe.
