Taipa Village Cultural Association collaborated with ZINECOOP Hong Kong to introduce a new exhibition in April 2019, entitled “SEE SAW ZINE? Publish Yourself !” which aims to promote local zine culture, individual publishing and facilitate art exchanges between Hong Kong and Macau artists. The exhibition showcases an extensive collection of zines and other printed materials in the format of broadsheets and risographs.

 

Established in November 2017, ZINECOOP is an art organisation that promotes local zine culture. They link zinesters, book fairs, zine stores and readers altogether, as well as supporting zine making and distributing.

 

“ZINE” is derived from “magazine”, a short form of “fanzine”.  It is a handmade, low-cost and low circulated publication which features different topics regarding the society, daily life and many other related issues.  The content is reflected in the form of text, sketches, images, diagrams, photos and illustrations.
