This documents their PhD research into zines as anarchist sexual pedagogy, with a mix of academic thoughts, creative experiments, and personal reflections. They also run Zine Club in Belfast at Paperxclips (queer bookshop, barbers and community space) and are bringing collaborative zines from the club, with no fixed themes but plenty of queer joy.

Chloe Henderson
Sunday
-
My name is Chloe Henderson and I am an Edinburgh-based interdisciplinary artist. I make art inspired by the natural world, mythological creatures, faerytales, nerd culture, and the radical idea that humans should be kind to every living thing. My work is inspired by my penchant for the fantastical, and I often feature strange creatures - both real and imagined - within my highly patterned portraiture. I developed my drawing process through the metal-etched jewellery I created for my undergraduate degree show collection. The crisp black and white lines have become my signature style. Through my illustration work, I journeyed into the world of zine-making. I make zines inspired by my experiences with anxiety, love, feminism, geocaching, and cats!
