Make it yourself<\/a> is a co-created exhibition between artist Dan Thompson, the University of Kent\u2019s Special Collections and Archives team, and you!<\/p>\n

Have you ever been inspired to create something about your favourite band, performer or TV show? Is there a topic that means a lot to you that you\u2019d like to share with others? Through this exhibition we hope to inspire and motivate you to create your own publication and share it with others.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is on now and will run until end of April 2026. It is open to all – just come along to the Templeman Library on our Canterbury campus and head to the gallery space on A1.<\/p>\n

Why not create your own zine to include in the exhibition! Just drop a copy of your created work to the Special Collections and Archives team in Templeman A|107 and we\u2019ll add it to the display.<\/p>\n
