Zines Forever!

Zines Forever!

Thanks so much to the Wellcome Collection for including Zine Maker in their new exhibition Zines Forever! DIY Publications and Disability Justice.

The exhibition runs from 14th March to 14th September 2025 and looks at how zines have been used to share experiences of disability and disabled identity. The Zine Maker zine will be near the start of the exhibition, as part of an introduction to what zines are and why they are particularly relevant to themes of disability (as well as madness/trauma, queerness, and marginalisation more broadly).

The Zines Forever! exhibition is curated by Dr Lea Cooper (artist and zinemaker), and Adam Rose (Assistant Curator, Wellcome Collection).

If you can’t make the exhibition, you can access the Zine Maker zine here. It introduces  zines and zine culture, and takes you through a workshop style session to make and plan your own zines.

As well as accessing our zines through this website, you can now find most of them in the Wellcome Collection, along with some of our other resources.


Meg-John (MJ) Barker (they/them) is a writer, zine-maker, collaborator, contemplative practitioner, and friend. They are the author of a number of zines and popular books on sex, gender, and relationships, including graphic guides to Queer, Gender, and Sexuality (with Jules Scheele), and How To Understand Your Gender, Sexuality and Relationships (with Alex Iantaffi).
