MEET IOANA AKA ARTIZINE

Ioana is an artist-educator and founder of Artizine, a platform and artistic identity through which she explores zine-making as a vehicle for storytelling, imaginative skill-building, wellbeing, and connection. 

Her creative practice centres on how handmade publishing can empower people to share their experiences, nurture creativity, and build collective culture.  She has facilitated workshops for organisations including the Southbank Centre, Barbican, Hayward Gallery, and King’s College London, helping people of all ages rediscover the joy and intimacy of making by hand.  

Ioana is excited to guide Bored Peach Club members through the tactile, expressive process of zine-making,  celebrating the analogue emotions behind scissors, glue, and paper, and revealing how zines can be tender yet radical tools for creative expression and self-development.
