📸 💬🖍️Join us for a creative and reflective Photography Zine-Making Workshop led by documentary photographer, videographer, and visual storyteller Zula Rabikowska.
👐 This is a great opportunity to learn how to turn existing photography projects into a publication that will benefit your own practice and showcase your values, perspectives, and lived experiences!
✨💭 Zula will share visual prompts and tips & tricks for zine-making as a way to navigate and reflect on powerful global themes of community, displacement, division, and belonging.
📝 You’ll then work with up-cycled photographic images from our collection and a variety of craft materials (scissors, glue sticks, card boards, coloured pens, tracing & crepe paper, vibrant stickers & tapes, and more), to express your creativity!
🫶🏾🌍 This workshop coincides with Refugee Week 2025 with the theme of “Community as a Superpower”, which invites us to explore the strength found in connection, collaboration, and care.
🥤 Your ticket includes one complimentary organic soft drink sponsored by Karma Drinks.
📸 All ticket profits go directly towards supporting The Photography Foundation’s charitable mission and helping us continue to invite professional photographers to spotlight important topics through photography and education.
✂️ What you will need:
- No prior experience needed — just bring your thoughts, stories, and creativity.
- All craft materials will be provided by us! Our collection of up-cycled fashion & photography magazines will be available to use.
- For this workshop, you can (optionally) email us up to 10 inspirational images of various sizes (formatted into two A4 sheets). We’ll have your selected images printed in colour and ready for you to use as a starting point during the workshop! Please email your chosen images at least 48hrs before the workshop at [email protected]
