Beirut Zine Festival at Artscape

A zine is most commonly a small circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images usually reproduced via photocopier.

Zines are written in a variety of formats, from desktop published text to comics to handwritten text (an example being the hardcore punk zine Cometbus). Print remains the most popular zine format, usually photocopied with a small circulation. Topics covered are broad, including fanfiction, politics, poetry, punk and hardcore music, art and design, ephemera, personal journals, social theory, single-topic obsession, or sexual content far outside of the mainstream enough to be prohibitive of inclusion in more traditional media. The time and materials necessary to create a zine are seldom matched by revenue from sale of zines.

There’s going to be a Zine Jam with Daneila from ReKult who is coming specifically for this event from Amsterdam.
