Zoë Thompson

Artists

Zoë Thompson is a zine maker and facilitator based in London. She champions the power of zine culture as a radical tool of expression and curates workshops centred around embodied play. Zoë is also the founder of sweet-thang zine, a community and indie press publishing work by Black creatives worldwide. Sweet-thang is rooted in black feminist politics and the concept of art as a portal for dreaming, joy and care.

2025

In November 2025 we commissioned Zoë to run a zine-making workshop as part of a celebration of our Memories for the Future programme. Later that day, she took part in an artist panel talk with Myah Asha Jeffers and Shari Mclawrence, facilitated by Peckham Platform’s Brian Maina. The panel discussed themes of creative practice, community memory, and the role of art in shaping social and cultural futures.
