Sounds of Home Zine: Student Call Out

OVERVIEW 
Sizzling onions, scales on an out of tune piano, your sister singing in the shower. Sound can transport us, ground us and remind us of where we have come from. Share your story in the Music Performance Units’ first edition Zine Sounds of Home, created for the 2025 UNSW Diversity Festival!

A zine is defined as “a self-published, handmade, or small press booklet that is photocopied and distributed in relatively small quantities for the purpose of sharing ideas, experiences, and perspectives, often of historically marginalized or underrepresented subcultures and social movements” – to read more on zines, visit: https://libguides.richmond.edu/zines

  • Work can be poetry, prose, photography, collage, drawing, painting, cartoon, lyrics, stream of consciousness – whatever you want to express, we want you to express it!  

  • A5, vertical orientation OR A4, horizontal orientation. 

  • PDF or PNG. 

  • If you prefer to submit a hard copy, please email cmc@unsw.edu.au to organise drop off.
