Made to Last: Black History Month Zine Commission

As part of our Made to Last: Connecting Communities Through Collections programme, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Glasgow Zine Library is commissioning a new zine/DIY publication.

We are looking to support the production of one new zine by a Black zine-maker, in celebration of Black History Month. The zine can be about anything that is meaningful to you and it doesn’t have to be in the English language – all proposals are welcome!

If selected, you will get:

-£450 for you to use to cover any production costs, including your time

-Induction into the Glasgow Zine Library catalogue and facilities

-Ongoing access to Glasgow Zine Library throughout the research and making period, and support from the team

-Free tickets to any relevant event programmed by Glasgow Zine Library

-Zine launch event

We will be looking for a creative and imaginative idea which will be produced by February 2025. Applications will not be judged on previous zine-making experience

Location: All Scotland
