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.
