The Culture Zine Workshop is a collaborative event series based in Johannesburg that invites creatives to archive, reflect on, and contribute to local culture through storytelling and design, in the form of zine-making. Each edition centres on a core theme, fostering authentic conversations between emerging and established voices.
This month, The Culture Zine Workshop returns with a new edition, bringing a storytelling experience to the forefront. This instalment introduces ‘Rolling Culture – A Culture in Motion’, a short film that captures the dynamic pulse of South African street culture.
The workshops, produced by Huemxn and co-hosted by Alphabet Zoo and iQhawe Magazine, bring together writers, artists, and cultural thinkers to reflect on contemporary movements. Each edition includes a guest creative who helps guide the theme and direction of the session. Previous guests include Kasi Flavour, Ebumnandini, and Vans. For this edition, Culture Club Magazine joins the team as an exclusive partner.

Taking place on 31 May 2025 at Breezeblock in Brixton, the workshop will feature guest creative host Day Marumo. The event includes the exclusive screening of ‘Rolling Culture’, a film co-produced and co-directed by creative agency Huemxn, with cinematography by Aziah Soul and post-production by Hloni Matjila.
