You Deserve To D.I.Y.
Channel: Sticky Institute
Date: 2013-03-19

In January 2013 a gaggle of zinemakers took up residence in The Substation, Newport for 24 hours.

The participants were asked to make zines responding to / reflecting upon the experience of doing a 24-hour zinemaking challenge in a former electrical substation, and were given free rein of the building in which to do it.

To find out what happened -- and to see the zines that were produced -- why not visit 'You Deserve To DIY', the zine exhibition by Sticky Institute in conjunction with The Substation. (It'll be in The Substation and all.)

The opening is on Thursday 28th February at 6-8pm. 
The show runs until March 24th (open Thursday to Sunday, 11am-5pm).
