Another group which I am interested in looking into can include Shy Bairns. I had heard of their work briefly through Instagram as well as being aware of Erin's work with Nest Magazine at the university. When I heard that they were going to be at strange perfume I thought that this would be a nice opportunity to interact with their work and see what they have been working on since they've graduated as well as talking to them and got some advice about the university as well.
This collective is a multidisciplinary group which specialises with DIY workshops and publications. One of the main reasons why I was attracted to their work was the evident DIY nature of the way that their work has been produced: whether its screen-printed tote bags, using collage and mixed media within their publications to incorporating print methods which produce really nice textured results like Risograph.
As well as this I like the fact that some of their work explores topics within the LGBTQ+ community as I am a part of that community myself, I appreciated the fact that they have some more educational zines to help those wanting to learn a bit more about appropriate terminology to use when speaking to people as well as things which aren't that well known. I would like to be able to discover and learn more things about the LGBTQ+ community within the area that I live in as well as find people who share similar values and upbringing within Asian communities as well and I think by talking to Shy Bairns, I would be able to get a good start into where I should start looking as well as finding out some information about their processes as well.
