Zine Club #14 - The Little Book of Calm

For our next Zine Club event, we'll work with an exercise called 'Panic Book'. Despite its name, it's about finding some peace in the midst of panic (or just stress)... Time for self-care through Zine-making!

We made a selection of media and print from the WORM Pirate Bay archive exploring the full range of calm and panic states. You can browse the material during our event. Explore with us and get inspired.
