Support Structures: Zine-making Workshop

Support Structures: Zine-making Workshop, as part of the public programme for Jan McCullough's current exhibition at the Butler Gallery.

Join curator Rachel Botha and artist Ameila Caulfield for an evening of readings and zine-making that reflect on ideas surrounding the concept ‘support structures’ as inspired by artist Celine Condorelli’s book. We’ll be looking at the aesthetics of instruction manuals as we elaborate on some of the themes that emerge, producing a zine using the in-house photocopier. This workshop celebrates the Tea Houses’ unique history as a public site of gathering, hospitality and communal exchange.
