Tauranga Zinefest

Tauranga Zinefest is a FREE, annual, highly visual community event. Buckle ya seat belts Tauranga....the Zinefest is back in town! Peace ✌🏻

Bring your best mate, tamariki, heck why not Nanny and Koro too, for a fun filled day of zines, cartoons, art prints, workshops, makers table, zine library and so much more! But hold up…let’s set the zine scene. Pronounced “zeen”, zines are short-run, self-published (maga)zines, touching on a variety of topics from music and art, to politics, sexuality and humour. Content can be written, drawn, pa

inted, collaged, or any other form the zine maker desires. Historically zines have served as a powerful outlet for content considered to be outside of mainstream, and can provide a safe and independent platform of expression for underrepresented and marginalised voices. We’re talking Māori and other BIPOC communities, rangatahi, disabled people and the LGBTQIA+ community. Tauranga Zinefest is a FREE, highly visual community event, dedicated to promoting this unique sub-culture. If you want to be a part of this ridiculously cool festival drop us a line on here or email [email protected], we'd love to hear from you.
