ASU Zine Fest
Calling all zinesters/zinestresses! Join the ASU Library and the Institute for Humanities Research, in conjunction with the opening of the zine collection at Hayden Library, for the inaugural ASU Zine Fest, a two-day virtual gathering of scholars, makers, students, collectors, and anyone interested in zines (pronounced zeenes).
Far removed from the mainstream publishing scene, zines are alternative publications that come in many shapes and flavors. These unique DIY print materials invite readers to an intimate reading experience like no other, exploring creative self-expression and artistic freedom while stretching and redefining the perception of knowledge creation and dissemination in the digital age.
ASU Zine Fest will bring together two days of presentations that explore “Making on the Margins” (Day 1) and “DIY Voices of the Community” (Day 2), covering topics such as chronic illness, queerness, punk poetry, feminism, Native zine making, small press comics, empathy and more.
The keynote presentation, “Margins: Writing as Magic-Making, Self-Publishing as a Literary Tradition,” by Ariel Gore, the founding editor and publisher of the Alternative Press award-winning magazine Hip Mama, is slated for 7 p.m., Friday, April 2.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-two Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
