[Wamvan] 2012 WAM! Vancouver Conference - Call for Workshop Ideas

[Julie Cormier]

I am currently all about zines....and I think this conference topic could
also include a look at alternative forms of media uprising.  Zines were a
huge part of counter-culture media in the 80's and is now revived through
changes in communication modes, ie: internet.  Even though the aesthetic of
hard copies is still strong, the level of distribution has intensified
through the use of the internet which has allowed this trend to become more
widespread.
Zines Rock!
