Join us for a zine-making workshop that uses letterforms as vehicles for self-expression and communication. This workshop is inspired by the ‘Akurugraphy’ exhibition, a celebration of the beauty and form of Latin, Sinhala, and Tamil letters.
This is the second zine workshop led by writer and calligraphy artist Aisha Anver at the Geoffrey Bawa Space, following a popular zine-making session during the ‘Ways of Knowing’ exhibition in February 2026.
As small hand-made booklets, zines offer a playful, intimate format for expression, giving each maker the freedom to share emotions, stories, and ideas in their own voice. Participants are encouraged to pick a letter that interests you– either through its shape, sound, or feel- and bring interesting letters, cut-outs, and tools you’d like to write with. No prior zine-making experience is needed.
Aisha Anver is a part-time writer and part-time self-taught calligraphy artist. She loves words, embroidery, ink painting, and finding new ways to plague the Sri Lanka Post.
