Zines: Colouring Outside The Lines (COTL) kindly sent us over the latest issue of Shape & Situate.
Now on issue 3, Shape & Situate is a zine of posters made by artists and DIY creative folk from within Europe, each poster highlighting the (often hidden) history and lives of radical inspirational women and collectives from Europe, as a way of connecting us with the past and the present through a dynamic cultural (re-)articulation of these women’s lives. The zine aims to activate feminist cultural memory, to inspire in the present, and to visually bring women’s social and political history to life and into view.
Pop down to the library to have a looksy at the zine and get inspired! If you’d like to bag a copy for yourself, head over to COTL’s Esty store here.
Every Sunday, 3pm-7pm, library open. Plus:

We found a discarded newspaper bin and decided to bring it back to life. Murdered out in matte black, full of zines, and ready to be placed on the street. First of many.
This is awesome.
