As part of Strathclyde’s LGBT History Month, join us for a hands‑on zine workshop led by Alex Kabaj (he/they), editor of NAEBINARY - Scotland’s grassroots DIY zine platform created by and for trans, nonbinary and gender diverse people. Since its successful launch event at the Small Trans Library on 16 December 2025, NAEBINARY has distributed hundreds of copies internationally, with more issues and publications already in the works.

The zine is entirely free and features poetry, photographs, letters, flyers, community resources, and advertising for trans‑owned businesses and services, offering a creative space for connection, visibility and mutual support.

In this workshop, we’ll explore self‑publishing and DIY publishing as powerful tools for expression, resistance and community storytelling. No previous experience is needed - just bring your ideas, your creativity and whatever you want to share.

All contributions created during the session will come together to form their own issue, collectively made on the day.

Tea and coffee will be provided.
