Bombay Underground x Blue Tokai

Bombay Underground's 3rd Zine pop-up is coming to Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters on March 10th and 11th. What is a zine? Most commonly a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images usually reproduced using a photocopier, printing press or just paper and pen. Dissidents and members of socially marginalized groups have published their own opinions in leaflet and pamphlet form for as long as such technology has been available. The primary intent of publication is usually for purposes other than profit. Zines frequently draw inspiration from a "do-it-yourself" philosophy, or DIY ethic. Zines cover an endless amount of topics and can have some awesome, one-of-a-kind, collectable art inside. Bombay’s Zine Fest is a celebration of self-published and DIY comics and literature. Showcasing independently published literature, comic books, poetry, journalism, and drawings, the Fest will feature zine-makers’ works for trade and for sale. Zine fests are a great place to learn something new, get inspired, discuss, interact, meet friends, connect with local writers and get involved with various forms of accessible media. They bring together people who are interested and involved in making zines and DIY publishing, sharing ideas and stories. It’s an amazing way to get a conversation started, over a cup of coffee, and make something big happen in our community.
