Zine synposiums are a chance for people to exhibit their creations and distros, meet likeminded self-publishers and general wander round with a joyful abandon, amazed at the wonderful things people can do with an old type-writer, some felt-tips and a prit-stick.

So we at Claptrap Zine thought it was about time Bradford played host- basically so we can coax all our favourite zinesters up/down here, whilst also showing off some Bradford-made publications.

The Bradford Centre for Non-Violence / Treehouse Cafe will be transformed into a den of DIY, with one room being for workshops and the other two filled to the brim with tables of incredible zines.

At the moment we have confirmed all these brilliant people to come down-

These Distro’s have a huge selection of feminist, queer, music, anarcho, personal and arts zines for you to peruse. We’ve got loads of great workshops and readings lined up too, so watch this space for updates. It’s also going to be the first year wedding anniversary of Chart Your Cycle legends, Chella and Sarah- so expect cup cakes and bunting aplenty.

There’s still space for you though!
So please do get in touch if you want to exhibit anything. There will be tables for people to put individual zines on, but we want this to be collectively shaped and sculpted- so if you draw, write, paint, type, photograph, glue or sew then please get in touch!

We’re having our final programming meeting at the café on the 7th June (this Sunday). Everyone is welcome. Nibbles provided. WOO!
8pm.
