A zine (/ziːn/ ZEEN; short for magazine or fanzine) is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images. During this walk in workshop, children aged 6 and above are able to create their own zine under the guidance of artist Sara Pape. The theme of the zine workshop is: what does silence look like? How do you hear calmness? Using a variety of materials, techniques and sensory activities, children will explore these themes, creating visual art in the form of a zine that they can take home or leave to add to the collection.
Sara Pape is an artist, visual theater maker and visual arts teacher. Natural phenomena such as stone, ice and water, as well as sound and movement, are recurring elements in her artworks. For example, she has collected rocks and reconstructed them in ceramics to be left back in nature. She also built an underground instrument played with melting ice, whose drops echoed in a well. She graduated from the Master of Artistic Research in 2013 with a study of the material use and ideology of monuments. In her most recent work, she created an object theater performance about an encounter of a fox and a bear on a dancing mountain.
