DIY feminist zines since 2001
Would you like to know what kind of zine things I did last week? It’s ZineWriMo or Zine Writing Month but I didn’t manage to do much zine writing yet. Still, I’m trying to do a few prompts from the ZineWriMo list each week because I enjoy them…

Week 2 of ZineWriMo 2022 (Zine Writing Month) is almost over so here are some ziney and crafty things I did in the past 7 days: taking photos of my zine tools, teaching a feminist zine workshop, and working on my new art grimoire.
On Friday November 11th I will teach a feminist (mini)zine workshop at the Vrouwendag event in Brussels. Vrouwendag is the National Women’s Day that has been organised in Belgium since 1972. It takes place in another city every year and this year Brussels and the venue De Kriekelaar (near Nord station) are its host.
Come and make or buy some zines in September! If you are in Ghent this month, check out these zine events:
Also, there’s an online zine symposium and zine jam this Friday the 9th and Saturday the 10th with super interesting talks and workshops! Make sure to sign up in advance.
It will be a busy late Summer and Autumn! I’ve got some zine workshops, a craft fair, another zine-making afternoon, and an exhibition planned as well as a concert with Lavender Witch!

I’m so grateful for all the support and feedback I got so far about my latest creations. It means the world to me! ❤ And more news: I’ll be teaching two zine workshops, in August and in November…

How’s zine month going for you? I’ve been enjoying myself so far, reading and making zines, and posting about zine stuff on this blog…
I’m skipping today’s official International Zine Month prompt, “write a letter or online post about your IZM2021 experience” (see Stolen Sharpie Revolution), because I will summarise my #IZM2021 experience in a later blogpost.
So instead, I’ll give you some glimpses of the zine projects I’m currently working on:

Hello there! How are you? Are you enjoying International Zine Month too? Here is a little overview of the things I did so far this month and things I still plan to do:

I make a lot of zines on my own but sometimes I contribute to other zines as well. I’m also an illustrator so I regularly make illustrations for a variety of projects. I actually have a blog for my drawings but I don’t keep it up to date very well… So instead I’d like to make a list of recent illustrations here (even if just so I don’t forget).
Here are some zines and other projects I’ve recently made drawings for:

I did a thing! For the first time since lockdown, I participated in an “organised event”. It was outdoors and felt really safe (limited amount of people, space to spread out, alco-gel available, each our own markers/brushes…) and I was happy to be able to do this. Getting creative outside in the sun, with other creative people around, including a friend I hadn’t seen since February last year – it was exactly what I needed. Thank you to the Les Voizines team, De Koer, and the people behind the whale boat for organising it!
The idea was that everyone made giant black and white drawings/pages for the “walvis zine” which will be put together printed later on. We also drew memories of Ghent and its rivers on the map below.
Here are some photos for you to enjoy:
