zine

at the time, my zines are part of zines-exhibitions in france and istanbul.

"Even My Mum Can Make a Book"
Initiated by Gamze Özer and Timothee Huguet this project shows alternative publishings like zines, fanzines, artist books and selfmade editions. Following an open call participants from all around the world submitted their works. The presentation at Manzara Perspectives is the first in a series as the project has the aim to create an archive that will be expanding and travelling through different venues.


"Fête du livre d'artiste à Forcalquier"
livre d’artiste et fanzinat belge, au Garage L. du 23 au 25 octobre

(with a lot of great belgian illustrators: ward zwart, bert huyghe, brecht vandenbroucke, yannick val gesto, ...)
