Wausau: Zine Making

Adults and teens are invited to make their own zines! A zine, short for fanzine or magazine, is a DIY self-publication, usually made on paper using magazine clippings and art supplies, and then reproduced with a photocopier or printer. Zines evolved from fan-based publications in the 1930s and became more prominent in the counter-culture movements of the 1970s and beyond. They have been a powerful tool for documenting marginalized voices and communities, including the punk, feminist, and LGBTQ+ movements. After you create your zine, feel free to use our scanners to reproduce your zines to distribute to others. This free event is open to adults and teens, with no registration required. Join us in the Community Room from 2:30-4:30 p.m. and all supplies will be provided. Call 715-261-7230 for more information.
