Zines and independent small-scale publications have historically played an important role in art, culture and community life, providing a platform for topics that often remain hidden behind institutional walls.

During KAMU's zine-themed afternoon, participants will explore the connections between architecture, design and independent publishing. In a hands-on workshop, they will experiment with transforming the spaces and history of the WeeGee building into visual culture.

Architect and Doctor of Philosophy Mika Savela will introduce the day's theme with an informal talk at 4:00 pm in Finnish and English. During the workshop, participants will work with archival images of the WeeGee building from KAMU's collections and explore how architecture zines and independent publishing can inspire new interpretations of the building, its architectural details, its history, and the memories and stories connected to it.

Event is free of charge, and the venue is fully accessible.

The event is part of the KAMU WeeGee Big Spaces event series.
