Revise, Remix, Recycle: Zine prototyping with Shrimp Zine

Join Andreas Laszlo Konrath, co-founder of SHRIMP ZINE, for a hands-on zine-making workshop as part of BAXTER ST’s Publication Practicum.

On Saturday, July 25, 2–5 PM at 154 Ludlow St, Andreas will guide participants through the zine as a tool for iterative prototyping – using the SHRIMP ZINE platform to remix, revise, and sequence images, experiment with layout, and leave with a printed publication in hand. The session will explore the expanded possibilities zines offer as a format, the role of experimentation and sequencing in the publication process, and the basics of zine construction.

Come with photos on your smartphone or tablet that you’d like to work with. If you’d like to participate but don’t have a device, please email candela@baxterst.org.

ABOUT THE BAXTER ST PUBLICATION PRACTICUM

The BAXTER ST Summer 2026 Publication Practicum is a free, six-part series for photographers and artists who want to learn how to make photobooks.

Each week, a guest speaker or facilitator from the photobook world will discuss their work and answer questions from Practicum participants. Sessions will span the full spectrum of the photobook process: from conception to production to getting a book on store shelves. Whether you’re an experienced bookmaker or just beginning to explore the possibility, there’s something for you. 

Practicum hosts will include Lesley A. Martin, Alex Lin (Studio Lin), Christina Grillo (Trifolio), Michael Dayton Hermann, Miwa Susuda, Martha Naranjo Sandoval, and Andreas Laszlo Konrath (SHRIMP ZINE). 

Sign up for the sessions most interesting and relevant to your practice – that might be all six, or just one. Bring your questions, experiences, and an openness to connect with fellow participants and the session host over a shared love of bookmaking. Sessions will have a limited capacity to encourage dialogue.

The Publication Practicum is free and open to photographers and artists of all backgrounds and experience levels.
