==Zine Camp invitation / open call for participation==
 
  
On the 24-25th of May, WORM will host a 2 day Zine Camp, an open workspace
 
connecting like-minded zinesters and newbies from Rotterdam to
 
national/international zinesters and newbies. The aim is of course to make
 
zines together, but also to provide a space and place to socialize and
 
collaborate in an attempt to discover and foster a growing community of
 
zine-makers in the NL. Everyone is welcome and entrance is free so no
 
excuses! Drop by!
 
 
Zines are DIY periodicals, traditionally self-published on printed format.
 
They've been published by science, music and soccer fans, political
 
dissenters, activists, or just people who want to share ideas or aspects of
 
their personal life. Most zines are grassroots products of underground,
 
fringe or alternative publishing and distribution and have been largely
 
ignored by mainstream publishing.
 
 
However, this is by no means restrictive to what a zine can be.
 
Experimentation with form, technical execution, concept, or (ideological)
 
function is more than welcome to open up the question of what constitutes a
 
zine today, i.e audio zine, film zine, super 8 zine, etc.
 
 
WORM will provide a large, free space, with tables to work on, a photocopy
 
machine, paper, scissors, glue and last but not least a bar and a stage for
 
live performances.
 
 
Similar to a hacklab or BarCamp, we find it important to keep it loosely
 
organized to allow for self organization and spontaneity, but at the same
 
time provide some kind of structure to see what is possible at the Zine
 
Camp.
 
 
==Loose program==
 
Here is our basic skeleton of a program, but keep in mind that this is not
 
a fixed structure and is open to accommodate suggestions and proposals.
 
 
Activities
 
-workshops
 
-presentations/screenings
 
-special events (performances)
 
-night program
 
 
Ongoing
 
-zine stalls / show space
 
- open tables: place to share knowledge / making station. This will be
 
scattered throughout the WORM venue.
 
 
 
==Participation==
 
There are many ways in which you can participate, however is a quick
 
overview:
 
 
1) Simply come by and make a zine.
 
 
2) Drop by on the day and feel free to participate in the activities,
 
program, and open tables. Think about spontaneously doing a workshop or
 
presentation!
 
 
3) If you have an idea you would like to propose that fits in with the
 
loose program needing time to prepare and organize please let us know in
 
advance.
 
 
 
==Food and sleeping==
 
You can buy a cheap dinner at WORM. For visitors coming from abroad, we can help in finding accommodation.
 
 
 
==Location==
