More about the organiser:
Hester Grant has taken inspiration from and created artist zines as part of her artistic practice. A Zine (pronounced ZEEN; short for magazine or fanzine) is a small-circulation, homemade publication that originated in the USA during the 1930s. Zines are often created out of political or artistic movements and Hester is particularly interested in zines that have taken inspiration from punk such as the Riot Grrrl movement. In the early 1990s bands such as Bikini Kill and Bratmobile created zines as way of spreading their feminist message using a punk rock aesthetic in a visual format which complimented their music. However, there are no set rules on what makes a zine a zine. Zine festivals have become more and more popular in cities with strong contemporary art scenes such as Berlin and Glasgow. In the Highlands she feels it is important that zines are recognised as part of a contemporary art practice.
