Collective zine‑making workshop led by Marion C. Bouvier, exploring the potential of this analogue medium to bring speculative narratives into the world.
In this workshop guided by Marion C. Bouvier, participants will create their own zines or posters that speculate on alternative futures, experimenting with layers, textures and colour in a collaborative, collage‑based spirit.
This workshop emphasises reflection, creativity and the iterative process of transforming ideas into tangible outcomes, which will later be displayed in the reading area of Engawa Space.
The workshop also features the video installation Sondi, Mbombo: Dream Echoes, which invites participants to collectively engage in a shared imaginative experience, highlighting the role of collaboration in shaping speculative visions.
Bringing together artist‑led dialogue and practical experimentation, the workshop encourages imagining futures in alternative ways. It is both a space for critical thinking and creative action, blending theory and practice in a reflective manner.
