The Zine Zone is an exhibition in celebration of independent publishing and the DIY aesthetic. Zines can be community-makers, direct communicators, and street educators. They’re the original tools of political agitators, helping radical ideas spread without approval. They’re also the most accessible, easily replicable means of creative expression. Not simply the domain of anarchists any longer, the zine is home to the hearts of poets, photographers, painters, and illustrators. A zine can be a collection of emotions, thoughts, and dreams…or it can be a silly little treatise on sunflowers. The Zine Zone is a space to relax, collage, and spit out some thoughts onto a page you can shove into the hands of friends and strangers. It’s my hope that this exhibition will support an existing network of zinesters keeping a very special art form alive, and encourage those new to the format to play around and try something new. Please enjoy.
