Grrrl Zines A-Go-Go - the name
stands for a small group of women who organizes zine and book-making
workshops. Grrrl Zines A-Go-Go works with community groups and
nonprofit organizations in the San Diego area, conducting workshops for
adults and teens. The groups’ primary focus is on the empowerment of
teenage girls through the production of zines and artist books.
Formed in 2002, the instigator of the group
was Elke Zobl, founder of the Grrrl Zine Network. As a visiting
graduate student from Austria, Elke networked with local zinesters in
San Diego. She hooked up with Margarat Nee, editor of Oya and Dogrrrl,
Glue Magazine’s Claudia Lucero, Kim Schwenk, creator of Girl Noire, and
Wives Tale’s editrix Britton Neubacher. A year ago Ari joined the
collective bringing her distro expertise. Now
three years old old, the group as already hosted over ten workshops and
3 events, starting with the S/he Collective’s Army of S/he Festival.
Our latest event, in October 2003, was putting on a zine movie night at
Voz Alta and showing movies documenting various north american zine
scenes.
