Selected works/projects
The Volunteering Zines (2024) is a zine making project that took place at Glasgow Women’s Library in 2023 & 2024. Taking our own experiences as volunteers as starting point, this project aims to make the experience of volunteering more visible within GWL and beyond whilst creating a space for volunteers to meet each other in a fun, creative and informal setting. By making these zines, we’ll be giving others a glimpse into volunteer work at GWL, contributing to the visibility of this important work and by doing so contributing to women’s historiography and to GWL’s collection.
To celebrate Volunteers Week 2024 (3rd – 9th of June), a display was installed to showcases zines made during the workshops.
Buurboeken Hier te Leen (Neighbouring books can be borrowed here) 2020 poster + book borrowing project during the closure of public libraries in the COVID-19 pandemic. Part of PrintRoom’s project Venster Zien – Window Zine Rotterdam. Poster and book borrowing and lending project in a street in Rotterdam South, NL. The concept of Buurboeken (‘Buur’ means neighbour in Dutch and ‘boeken’ books) arose during the Covid lockdown and the subsequent closure of the Public Libraries. The poster is an invitation to open ones personal library and share books with ones neighbours. On the poster 6 book titles can be filled in and hung behind the window for every passerby to read. This allows neighbours to then pick a title they like and knock their neighbour’s door to borrow the book! Personal libraries became temporarily public – creating moments of sharing and exchange in times of lock down.
