What is a zine?
Derived from the end of the word ‘magazine’, zines are independently made, small-circulation booklets characterised by their simple design; typically folded and stapled paper.
Zines have existed since the 1920s, allowing communities to share stories, poetry, art, social commentary, fandom content and more. They can be as small as a button or as large as a regular magazine, made out of hand-glued collage or designed on a computer. Zines are whatever you create them to be!

Strange Folds Zine Fair is presented by Baby Teeth Journal and supported by L.I.M.P. Magazine and the South Coast Writers Centre.
