Dream Fanzine Workshop

Rachel Deville, comic-book author published by Actes Sud BD and Atrabile, has explored dream themes across several albums. Her practice combines narrative and illustration to investigate subconscious storytelling.

This introductory workshop explores making a fanzine around dreams using mixed media, automatic writing, dream recollection and keyword card draws. Participants examine techniques to weave personal images and texts into short narratives, develop visual sequencing and editorial choices, and experiment with forms of intimate, DIY storytelling.
