Self Cultivation is going to print!
That’s right, our night of works in progress will now be partnered with a ZINE, to be sold on the night and at various fancy outlets such as Sticky in the platform arcade.
Participants now have the opportunity to perform and be published in the one foul swoop. We also hope the hardcopy will encourage feedback both from the punters enjoying a sip of our creative juices and from each other!
