Zine workshop at Vadehra Art Gallery, Delhi, 2018. Courtesy Renuka Rajiv.
Zines provide us with a creative canvas to explore our personal narratives and thoughts, as well as our shared stories and identities. Their low-cost reproducibility makes them a wonderful medium for sharing our ideas with each other. They have often been a medium for activism and resistance, as well as served as a great form for self-expression.
Join us for a hands-on zine making workshop with artist Renuka Rajiv as they take us through the various steps involved in making a collective zine. The session will begin with making original pages using drawing and collages and culminate in a collective zine that each of us get to take home.
This programme is exclusively for 18–25 year olds.
This session is conducted as part of our engagements for the MAP OSCH Collective. The MAP OSCH Collective is a community for young people (18-25 year olds) to engage with the arts and culture sector. The collective is for, of and by young people — to explore our shared identities and interests through art.

Renuka Rajiv
Renuka has had an interest in making things since childhood, exploring drawing, paper mache, tie-dye and stitching. They studied digital video production at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (with Honours) majoring in printmaking at Victorian College of Art, Melbourne. Since then, their work has reconnected with the childhood interests of playing with fabric and paper. Most themes and content in their work is personal, which includes the compulsion towards the hand-made. Their work inhabits a space that accommodates the imaginative, observational and autobiographical. Since 2012 they have been exhibiting regularly in group and solo shows. Recently they have exhibited at Walkin Studios (Bangalore), Home Sweet Home (Bangalore), Vadehra Art Gallery (Delhi), Stockroom (Kyneton), Blakdot (Melbourne), Brunswick Artspace (Melbourne) and Feltspace (Adelaide). Their animation was also included in the Festival Mondial des Cinemas Sauvages (Brussels). Prizes include FICA Emerging Artist Award, Substation exhibition prize and City of Stonington Print Prize. They have been on art residencies at CONA (Bombay), T.A.J. (Bangalore) and Pro Helvetia + FICA (Lucerne).
