Second Sight: Zine Fair

Overview

Until the end of June, the UQ Art Museum is delving into all things occult, supernatural and magical, all thanks to its Second Sight: Witchcraft, Ritual, Power exhibition. Whether you've already been enchanted by the art showcase, or you're looking to dive in for the first time, the St Lucia spot is serving up an extra reason to stop by on Saturday, May 4: a zine fair.

Popping up from 10am–4pm, the market will highlight zines, comic books and other small-press publications, with local and independent publishers, artists and writers on hand to chat about their work. There's your reading material sorted for the next few months — and, while the fair ties in with the exhibition, you won't just find otherworldly themed offerings on sale.

That said, if you're the kind of person who wants more witchcraft more often, two workshops will help keep you entertained across the day as well. In the morning, experts will chat about Rune and Nordic spirituality, while a session on modern day witchcraft is on the bill after launch.
