Zine Making Workshop with Tarla Patel

Afterimage: What Stays?

What do you remember when a photograph is gone?

Join Tarla Patel for a creative workshop where memory becomes your source material. Using a mix of collage and journalling by layering images and text, you will create a unique zine exploring how memory and emotion shape the images we carry – what details stay vivid? What becomes blurred?

Inspired by themes from the Ten.8 afterimage exhibition, or from your own memories of a place, person or experience, this workshop encourages you investigate the relationship between memory and image-making.

All materials provided. No experience necessary.

What is a zine?

A zine is a small, self‑made booklet that can be created quickly and easily without staples or specialist tools. During the workshop, you’ll have the option to make either an 8 page from a traditional format or 18 to 32 page zine.
