CUBITT COMMUNITY PRESS ISSUE #2                                                                                                                                                                           

Last summer we launched our second edition of our community paper. We designed, folded and printed a total of 100 copies, which were launched on the 2nd of August at Cubitt’s Community Zine Fair.                                                                                                                                                        

This edition was handmade by Islington locals, featuring 20+ community sourced contributions from all across the borough, including:

Have a look at our inaugural issue here and issue #2 here 👀                 

All content was collected via an open call and arrived via email + post to Cubittt, where it was designed + collated across 4 sessions by community members. More than 50 people came together to make this happen. 

Printed with our friends at ArtBox London, who lent us their machine for the project. Special thanks to the team there.

Huge thank you to everyone who spent their weekends with us to make this happen - community power makes everything possible!

The finished product 🎊
