A zine (short for “magazine”) is a small, self-published piece created with a DIY aesthetic using methods like photocopying or collage. Typically focused on niche topics, personal expression, or subcultural themes, zines provide a platform for alternative content such as art, poetry, essays, and activism that might not appear in mainstream media. They are usually produced in limited quantities and shared informally.
