    We want to unite independent makers from around the world in our exploration of the importance and power of Queer Zines.

    At the end of the exhibition, all submissions will live on in our library for the community to enjoy all year round.

    What is a ‘zine’?

    Zine, pronounced “Zeen”,  is “short for 'magazine'.

    Zines are an independent / self-published creation, often taking the form of a handmade booklet printed in small circulation. Zines can cover many subject matters and have historically been a platform for creative marginalised or isolated groups of people to express their ideas, document experiences, share DIY methods, and build communities.
