A zine, short for fanzine or magazine, is a DIY subculture self-publication, usually made on paper and reproduced with a photocopier or printer. Zine creators are often motivated by a desire to share knowledge or experience with people in marginalized or otherwise less-empowered communities.

What Zines Are Like

You won't have time to read the whole zine.

Our Stories Matter

Winter: start with Mental Health

Spring: start with Domestic Violence + Safety

Summer: start with Families

Fall: start with Art + Music

In breakout rooms discuss for five minutes:

• Did one or more of the zines have an impact on you? On the creator?
• How do the graphics in the zine go with (or against) the writing?

Group share.
