What do you do in bed? Zines like this one challenge ideas about what we use our beds for and about who can produce media, from where, and about what. For some zine makers, bed is more than a place where they sleep or have sex. Their zines are made from or about sick beds, whether at home or in hospital. These sick beds aren't private spaces of recovery but are active places of cultural production and political participation. The zines reveal complex feelings about bed as a place of rest and comfort, and of pain and confinement; a place of solitude and loneliness, and of community and connection.

It’s on display in Zines Forever at the Wellcome Collection until 14 September 2025.
