Zines: A Brief Political History
In-Branch Program
Saturday, November 07
2:00pm - 3:00pm
Central Library
Central - 2nd Floor Program RoomCreate an 8-page punk zine using just a single sheet of paper.
Zines have a long history as tools for independent publishing, political education, counter-cultural ideas, and niche interests. In this workshop, we will explore the political origins of zines, spanning from the Harlem Renaissance to present day. Participants will learn essential techniques for creating zines, DIY distribution methods, and will have the opportunity to make their very own 8-page punk zine using just a single sheet of paper by the end of the session. No prior experience is required, and all materials will be provided. Presented in partnership with Hamilton Zineposium.
This workshop is facilitated by Nala Ismacil (they/them), a Somali working-class artist and zinester living with their cat, Luna, in Onon:takon/Hamilton. After their introduction to Osa Atoe’s Shotgun Seamstress through Toronto's punk scene, Nala developed an interest in diy publishing that has spanned a decade. Their most recent zines include Bulldagger Blues and An Introduction to Field Recording. Nala hopes to keep this anti-capitalist tradition alive by sharing this medium with artists and organizers alike. They will never stop making zines.

About the branch
The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
