zines, so very american…
“A zine (short for magazine or fanzine) is a noncommercial, small-circulation publication produced by an individual or a small group, typically outside traditional publishing channels.”
Pamphlets (which you could argue are the ancestor to zines) are a very American form of communication. In fact, pamphlets written by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Alexander Hamilton were key to the foment of support in the US for the American Revolution and to birth of our Republic.
Zines are an easy (and optionally anonymous) way to share information.
Here is just a small sample of zines that you are welcome to download, print, and customize. And if you have a zine you’d like to share with others, please fill out this form so we can have a lookie-loo!
