Lu Williams Grrrl Zine

Lu Williams is a queer artist and activist who lives and works in Essex, who is championing young people's creativity. Grrrl Zine Fair is a brilliant combination of live events, zine workshops, Grrrl In Print zine and a feminist zine library. Lu curates exhibitions and workshops for Zine making, as well as hosting panel talks and performances, a self-publishing fair and live music. Lu's work with Zine making is undeniably powerful, and Grrrl is presented as an adaptable way of making objects and literature outside of academic or capitalist endeavours, shining a light on women and non-binary artists. The eloquence with which Lu describes the Zine process and the need for a space and something for young women and queer folx to take ownership of is excellent, and the way Lu collaborates with other artists is what this podcast is all about. Our chat about intersectional feminism, society and change is one I really enjoyed recording. Lu held an event in December 2018 which featured the awesome Florence Given and phenomenal Ash Khullar, and continues to make huge strides in the Zine world and beyond, so I am super excited to see where Grrrl Zine Fair goes next year! Big things are coming.     Feminist homework: Investigate a Zine Workshop or create something to represent yourself or what you do. Get creative! No boundaries or restrictions. Tag us in your pics.
