University of Salford Alumna and lecturer Dr Vashti Suwa Gbolagun and University of Salford student Ume Kalsoom have helped The People’s History Museum celebrate the achievements of the anti-apartheid movement in a public zine making workshop run at the museum this autumn.
Run in collaboration with Southern Voices, a network of people committed to bringing the voices of the global south and black people into British culture, this workshop invited participants to create zines inspired by DRUM, which was a publication that reported on, and inspired resilience and resistance to, the apartheid regime.
The workshop included a brief history of the magazine, a presentation on how to make a zine. Music was provided by South African artists like Mariam Makeba. You can read more about the event here.
