2 teddy bears embracing, one weras a black leather vest the other holds a beer and wears a scarf and hat, they are both smiling
 

A team of local creatives from Wellington's zine scene have created illustrated portraits, historical protest art, photography, fanart and writing for BENT - a new collaborative zine series looking at our city’s subcultural and queer communities. The exhibition shows off their work in a collection of over fifty risograph-printed pieces.

Bent Makers’ Day

11 - 3pm, Sat 1st Feb

On Sat Feb 1, we’re running free drawing, collage, writing and badge making stations inspired by the lo-fi, alternative and activist tradition of zinemaking. We’ll also have a photobooth by BENT’s experimental photographer Liz Platova. Everything we make together can be included in an upcoming collaborative issue of BENT zine. Zero skills required. Facilitated by Liam Goulter, Andrew McCauley, Liz Platova and Charlotte Page.
