Wednesday Night Fever | From Web to Page: Making Zines with déi aner

Making Zines with déi aner

Free admission. No booking.

On these very special Wednesday evenings, Mudam invites its visitors to reclaim the museum in fun, convivial and joyful ways, and rediscover its building by taking part in our Night Fever activities. Through collaborations with local collectives, Mudam connects with Luxembourg’s communities, inviting them to co-host unique events. Free and open to the public, everyone is invited to join and engage in these communal and interactive gatherings and expand their museum experience!

This time, déi aner invites you for an all-out zine-making workshop, celebrating the second anniversary of the collective. Zines have always been a powerful tool for building community, fostering resistance and dreaming of liberation. Most importantly, they are a favourite medium for reclaiming narratives that have been pushed aside. In times of censorship and the exclusion of marginalised voices, zines offer a creative way to imagine futures and create spaces where everyone feels heard. During the workshop, you will have the chance to make collages with upcycled paper, illustrate and write your reflections to create your own personalised zine. All creative techniques are welcome!

Based on four exhibitions currently on display at Mudam, this workshop will invite participants to reflect on themes like time, migration, cultural heritage and our connection to nature.

Biography:

déi aner is an online zine platform: a webzine. This means that they self-publish articles to create a community for people who feel isolated from the mainstream. It is the same motivation that drives so many other communities to publish zines as a way of reclaiming their own stories. Founded in Luxembourg, in April 2023, déi aner was created to fill a gap – to bring something new and necessary to the country. It was established to spark reflection and to empower those who have been marginalised for far too long. In a place where community solidarity is rare, the alternative media platform strives not only to publish unique stories but also to create events that foster meaningful connections and conversations.
