Zines are the ultimate form of creative freedom. Start your zine journey with trans-led nationwide charity Not A Phase and author, illustrator and artist Mikey Brennan.

Zines are a fun and affordable way to showcase your skills and passions whatever they may be – writing, drawing, advice, gardening, random facts. Perhaps you adore kangaroos and wish to share this in a fun, inventive way!

Join the museum with Not A Phase and Mikey Brennan for this celebration of diversity, identity and creativity.

This workshop will allow you to meet new people while connecting with yourself and your passions. You’ll have the chance to make your own zine about anything you like, and receive tips and inspiration on how to continue your zine journey.

This event is run in conjunction with Not A Phase, and is a safe, gender-affirming, and inclusive space. Please help us to celebrate individuality and creativity.

Hooray, you're coming for free! Why not give a little back and donate when booking your ticket?
