What is a zine?

ZINE (noun): pronounced "zeen"

A zine is a small-batch, independently published work that is similar to a magazine but is non-professional and non-commercial. Zines are usually made using collage techniques and photocopied, and are often made by the writer, artist, or creator. The word "zine" is short for "fanzine."

Zines can touch on a variety of topics from music and art, to politics, sexuality, humor and personal memoir. Their content may be written, drawn, photographed, collaged, or any other form of combining words and imagery. A zine’s structure may be narrative, journalistic, comic-like, or completely abstract.

This venue is wheelchair accessible. If you require accommodations to participate in this event fully, please contact Zerline Thompson at events@ilhumanities.org at least 48 hours before the event.
