Zine season

from What are you looking at? Hosted by Contemporary Art Tasmania

This episode of What Are You Looking At? explores zines and zine culture, reflecting on the Contemporary Art Tasmania 2024 end of year exhibition, Paper Trail. Lead artists, Miranda Rogers, Jess Bateman and Leigh Rigozzi speak about the community building nature of zine-making and how zine culture is often based in sharing ideas and creating connections. This episode contains readings and excerpts from zines exhibited in Paper Trail by Beatrix, Fran Reeve, Niamh Marriott, Niccola Mudge, Siobhan Marriott and Timothy Hodge, narrated by producer Sharifah Emalia Al-Gadrie. Also included are readings and reflections from Paper Trail exhibition contributors Jade Irvine, Luke Cruddas and Tim Butcher. This episode also contains an excerpt from the Edge Radio broadcast of Xpress Radio which used their collaborative zine, created under the guidance of lead Paper Trail artist, Julia Drouhin, as a script to design their broadcast. Soundscapes and music are also provided by Xpress Radio, borrowing from an earlier work, Aquanebula, exhibited at Moonah Arts Centre in 2024. This episode was produced by Sharifah Emalia Al-Gadrie.
