Wellington Zinefest organiser Milly Hampton will feature in a history of the event that will be screened at the Hamilton Zinefest on Saturday.
Dozens of poets, comic creators, fringe politicos, illustrators, writers and artists will bring their self-made wares to the Meteor Theatre on Saturday for the seventh Hamilton Zinefest. It marks a long-awaited return for the event, which had to be cancelled last year due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Zinefests are held in cities around New Zealand and while such events are a relatively recent phenomena, zines themselves are not. A zine (pronounced “zeen”) is any labour-of-love act of short-run publishing, so any amateur poetry journal, fringe political pamphlet, or photocopied comic book qualifies as an example of zine-making. The word zine is a shortening of fanzine, a term invented in the 1940s to describe the amateur science fiction fan magazines that began appearing at that time.
