Auckland Zinefest Month – By Auckland Zinefest

1 day ago by

Fall in love with zines, print and indie publishing this August. A month dedicated to the beauty and fun of self-published booklets known as zines. Start by visiting our Market Weekend at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, where you can browse the works of 120 zinemakers and enjoy free activities amongst the gallery artworks.

Then, join us at one of our workshops where you can learn zine and DIY art-making skills for free or stop by our social gatherings to meet like-minded creatives in a welcoming, chill space. Sounds fun? Make sure to register for our workshops and RSVP to our gatherings on our website.

Meri Kirihimete!

It’ll be quiet on Design Assembly for the next few weeks while we scoff holiday treats, take a break from our screens and spend some time with our toes in the sand (weather permitting).
