Join us on Thursday 18th June, 6:30 – 8:30pm for ‘From the Same Night – DIY Ephemera Toolkit, a zine-making workshop with artist Reuben Brown. 

‘From the Same Night – DIY Ephemera Toolkit’ is a portable archive and a DIY-ephemera-making toolkit designed as part of “club [construction]”, an ongoing research project exploring queer nightlife, memory, collective archives, and the social and political histories embedded within club culture.

Participants will be provided with a toolkit containing a curated selection of reproduced club culture artefacts: handmade flyers pulled from walls, floor plans, archival photographs, press clippings, found graphics and other traces of nightlife communities.

While each toolkit contains more or less the same selection, the acts of cutting, collaging, annotating and reconfiguring produce distinct and deeply personal reimaginings of the archive that may be playful, narrative, critical or abstract. The resulting zines form a temporary collective record: a set of parallel interpretations that speak to the multiplicity of queer memory, the impossibility of a single authoritative narrative, and the ways nightlife is remembered, forgotten, retold, misremembered and rebuilt.

This free event will take place at Auto Italia. To book, follow the link here or email info@artworkassociation.org
