The event, organized by Fanzineología, is conceived as a meeting point for editing from the immediate, the uncomfortable, or what typically doesn't find an outlet in traditional channels. The workshops, taking place at Dissidents (Carniceros Street 23), consist of a series of open gatherings where participants can write, draw, cut, and assemble publications using basic materials like paper, scissors, and enthusiasm.
Activities began on Friday, April 24, with the workshop «Method to Quit Smoking,» an analog session focused on creating fanzines in A4 format folded into eight parts. After a brief introduction, various themes are proposed to start working, without imposing a rigid path. The main objective is to activate creative processes such as writing, drawing, or making collage, prioritizing the gesture, error, and the use of materials like markers, crayons, or magazines as an extension of thought, rather than a perfect outcome.
The workshops will continue on Friday, May 15, with «Workshop to Learn How to Turn the Page,» framed within the Humilladas initiative. Under the premise that «what is said softly also gets printed,» this workshop approaches the perzine as an exercise in emotional exposure. The fanzine is conceived here as a hidden diary, a space to write about what is difficult to say, about desire, or about what remains on the margins. Through texts, drawings, and fragments, pieces are constructed that do not seek correction but simply to exist.
In the same vein, Humilladas also includes a talk-workshop called «Letters from the Margin,» a space to put on paper what is usually not said aloud. These workshops do not aim to teach a specific technique, but rather to generate a context where creation can happen without permission, a place to experiment, make mistakes, and edit from the personal to the collective.
