Zines

Zines are small, self-published magazines or booklets created by individuals or groups to share ideas, art, or stories outside mainstream media. They are produced using simple printing methods, often by hand or with basic technology, allowing for personal expression and niche topics. Zines promote creative freedom, community engagement, and subcultural identity, making them a popular medium for marginalized voices and independent creators. They are typically distributed through direct swaps, shops, or events, fostering connection and dialogue around diverse interests and perspectives.
