During our seventh session of “Book as an Artwork” workshop we welcomed Arif Muharremi with “FantaZINA” lecture on hand drawn zines.

We saw how a zine is a medium that can contribute to social change, and how it is always important to create your artworks and writings and put them in the social context.

We saw how images are the perfect medium for the times we live in where the contexts change rapidly.

In the second part of the workshop, participants worked in groups to create their own mini publications that tackled current social issues relevant to Kosovo.

Arif Muharremi is a journalist and editor of culture in Koha Ditore, Express and author of the weekly Culture in Kosovo (BIRN).

He has coordinated EU programmes for education in cultural heritage, has managed projects for Manifesta 14-Western Balkans.

He is the author of the book with poetry and strips (OH!) and of educational games based on culture, heritage and visual art “Discover Prishtina” and “Who am I?”.

This program is made possible with the generous support of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports of the Republic of Kosovo.
