Make Muck Zine - Issue 2 Launch Party

MAKE MUCK ZINE is throwing its second launch party for the second issue of its print publication!

44 local and international artists, writers, photographers and poets are featured in issue 2 - themed surrealism/exquisite corpse - with a cover feature from artist Thebe Phetogo and a special profile on Carol Gibbs, one of South Africa's best assemblage artists.

Join us for a night of mucky madness and rambunctious revelry as we celebrate all these creatives and the launch of our second printed publication. We are so proud of every contribution and the community we are creating, and we cannot wait to celebrate with each one of you!

WHEN? 28 November 2026 -- 18:00 to late

WHERE? The Pink Room on the first floor of the Gorgeous George Hotel (118 St. Georges Mall, Cape Town City Centre, Cape Town)

WHY? Print is alive! Art is awake! Poetry is breathing! Stories are moving! Zines are making a comeback! Come Celebrate!

Yes, naturally, zines will be for sale on the evening!

MAKE MUCK ZINE is a small-scale, slow-burning South African print publication that serves to hold a space for the dirt, the depth and the darkness of the creative spirit. We publish works from makers in all their experimental, untraditional, awkward messiness - from wayward poets, writers, illustrators, and academics, to experimental jewellery artists, musicians, painters and crafters. Anything and everything goes if it is raw, risky and real! Find our manifesto, zine sales info, and bi-yearly open calls on Instagram @makemuckzine
