Are you new to zines? Zines are typically DIY publications, made for trading and sharing, often emerging from grassroots or underground political, art, music, or literary movements. As a visual media, zines can allow for expression beyond the bounds of language. Zines can help connect diverse communities and share perspectives from around the globe. MozFest is a great place to discover and explore the world of zines -- If you are inspired, check out our archived Spanglish zine-making workshop facilitated by Sarah Mirk and Sandra Marín to learn more and make your own zine.
