Sticky Institute presents:
Festival of the Photocopier 2018 Launch Party 
Upstairs at The Tote Hotel

with live music from:
Eat-Man
Bogano
Tina Growls

…plus some zines probably. Facebook event here.

Festival Of The Photocopier (#FOTP2018) is a weekend celebration of zine culture, taking place between Thursday 8 - Sunday 11 February. For more information visit www.stickyinstitute.com

Sticky Institute acknowledges that Festival Of The Photocopier is being held on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nations, and Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.

Sticky will close for 2017 at 5pm on Saturday 23 December.

We will be taking a break to prepare for Festival of the Photocopier 2018 and work out what the hell we’re going to do if our shop gets demolished. 

Sticky will open for 2018 at midday on Wednesday 24 January. 

Thank you to everyone who gave their feedback to MetroTunnel regarding the proposed changes to Campbell Arcade that would involve the demolition of Sticky. We understand the survey had over 1,500 responses!

There are still things you can do to help protest the development plans. Ellen Sandell MP has created this petition asking Labor’s Planning Minister Richard Wynne to consider the impact of the planned tunnel on Melbourne’s heritage.

Message from Amber Is Blue: 

Hi everyone, I will be launching my new zine Murder, She Zined: an In-Depth Review of Murder, She Wrote Season One at the Sticky Institute on the 9th of December! 

Shelley from Way Shit will be playing a solo acoustic set!

Come down and have a cup of tea with us, grab a copy of the zine and read all about Jessica Flecther and the 22 murderers she (basically single-handledly) put behind bars.

Come join us for the launch of David Mahler’s new comic collection Junior Catharsis! Over 300 pages, about 6 years of comics collected in one chunky volume - laughs, thrills, poetry, stoner jokes and introspective reflection xox

Sticky Institute and State Library Victoria present:

TONERPALOOZA II ZINE FAIR

After three years, Sticky Institute’s zine fair TONERPALOOZA returns to State Library Victoria with over a hundred zine stalls across two days. 

Tonerpalooza II will take place in the Cowen Gallery to accompany the exhibition Self-made: zines and artist books, which runs until November 12 and will tour across the country through 2018 and 2019. Facebook event here.

Poster by Rachel Ang

Tonerpalooza II takes place on land belonging to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, to whom sovereignty was never ceded. Sticky Institute would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the custodians of the land, and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and future.
