Projects & publications

Through diverse alliances and collaborations, the main lines of co-creation and research within Common Margins are developed by applying facilitation, methodologies and/or in-depth studies in contexts of citizen participation, artistic creation and learning environments. Some of the most recent highlights include:

Ongoing

• Collaborative design and conceptualisation for first edition of an experimental postal journal, combining the format and philosophy of fanzines with academic peer review.
• Qualitative study on methodologies and sessions of participatory design, in academic and artistic settings, to analyse motivations, creative dynamics and outcomes.
• Participatory archival process of fanzines in the Zenodo repository Rezinerator: co-vault for zines & chapbooks that matter.
• Development of PliegO’Maker, open-source tool for the editing and final imposition of fanzines in different formats, including PDF obfuscation for “read only after print” access.
• Development of zine formats for classroom activities, accompanied by rubrics for assessment.
