You are invited to take part in our next flashlights on
Independently writing: from Samizdat to the Zines
Workshop by
ELEONORA FARINA
This workshop will focus on the creation of an independent fanzine/magazine today.
Starting from a historical overview about the soviet Samizdat during the Cold War, we will together try to understand, what is a Zine and why it is fundamental in our current world in comparison to the communist society. Even though during the Samizdat movement the circulation of independent magazines was not permitted, nowadays the Internet gives us only apparently infinite possibilities of distribution.
We will talk about censorship today and we will essay topics for an ideal contemporary Zine.

Some starting points of discussion for the ideal creation of a fanzine/magazine are:
Why a Zine nowadays?
Which is our audience?
Which layout does it need in order to have a congruent diffusion?
Which contents are suitable for our society today?

With flashlights we start a series of mini-workshops where artists, curators, cultural workers, theoreticians, scientist ... will give an insight into their work field.
The workshops are based on personal experience and individual concerns, mirroring current art practice.They introduce the matter, raise and answer questions, start discussions and give hand on examples.
flashlights share knowledge, abilities and information within a small group of participants and leave space for practical examples and one to one exchange.
