Zine making and distribution has long held a significant place in the practice of queer creative practice, protest and community building. Amongst its significant collection of paper-based ephemera, the Australian Queer Archives (AQuA) holds many zines that together, demonstrate the diverse ways in which these important publications can be made and distributed, as well as the histories they often hold.

In the second session of the NGV x AQuA: Pride Month series, hear from librarian, archivist and AQuA committee member Clare O’Hanlon and committee member Nick Henderson about the history of queer zine-making. Visitors are invited to then make their own zine with the guidance of artist Aaron Billings.
