Our zines

Here are the zines we've made during this project, and our sister project, Covid Realities.

What's a zine?

A zine is a do-it-yourself magazine or booklet, which is often hand-made. Zines are an empowering way of creatively communicating experiences and messages - as the maker(s) you decide what you want to say and how you want to say it.

Reflections on our Participatory Research

A collective zine made with Covid Realities participants, researchers  and close colleagues about the methods and approaches we took to working together between 2020 - 2022.

This zine was funded by UKRI.
