Inspired by the wanderings of the Roma people throughout Europe “The Zine Caravan” will travel between different European cities to introduce zine culture to new communities via exhibitions, workshops and a Zine Exchange.
Between December 2009 and January 2011 the Zine Caravan will run five ‘zine fiestas’ in the cities of Amsterdam, Rome, Porto, Skopje and Istanbul. Each fiesta consists of a zine exhibition and vernissage (showcasing the work of local artists) followed by a free half-day zine-making workshop in collaboration with local artists. The Zine Exchange will also be open throughout the fiesta for the purchase and exchange of zines.

What is a zine?
A zine is a self-published book, or mini (maga)zine, usually A5 or A6 in size and reproduced via a photocopier. Zinemaking has become an international subcultural movement that focuses on personal expression via independent media. Zines cover an incredibly diverse range of topics including: fiction, politics, art, design, diaries, social themes or a personal obsession. They can come in almost any format: comics, collage, handwritten, computer designed, photography, drawings, even as cassettes, CDs, DVDs or in Braille!
