Youth Media Hub
Visible Ink has had a Zine library for a while now and has entered the business of making Zines collectively. Two issues of ’2 Degrees’ have been published and a lot of young people have been using the Zine Hub for a whole range of media & arts practice.
To reflect this, the Zine Hub has had a change of name to Youth Media Hub and it is open for business.
There are three Macs and a scanner, a badge maker and the facilities required to screen print. It is open at 5 Green Square Close Fortitude Valley between 1pm & 6pm Wednesday to Friday.
The Visible Ink team is always open to hearing new suggestions around what we can do with the space. If you have an idea, project or thoughts about how best to exploit this resource, get in contact with us.
About the 2 degrees collective zine
A new piece of artwork emerging from Brisbane’s inner-city is “2 Degrees” – named to express the close networks of people within Brisbane and how collaborative projects often highlight “who knows who” in Brisbane.
One of the zine’s contributors, Angelica, said the zine kicked off to a good start and has a lot of potential.
“It’s a really good platform for people who just want to get something out there. it’s great to be able to contribute something small to something larger than I could create on my own,” Angelica said.
A number of contributors joined Visible Ink Valley tenants and staff to celebrate the creation of the zine, which has been developed over the past 9 weeks on Wednesday afternoons in the VIV Media hub.
“I think it’s important for people to be creating something in Brisbane, no matter how small – even if it’s just a post-it notes worth of an article. It’s important for young people to contribute to and have a say in Brisbane culture as it develops,” Angelica said.
