Zine, an unfamiliar concept among Macao locals, refers to a type of independent publication produced in small quantity but gaining widespread popularity in different parts of the world in recent years. The name 'zine', without the prefix 'maga', suggests it aims to shake off the limitations in the publication process and only focus on expressing the creator's message. Playfulness and handicraft, even inexpensive and unrefined, is allowed from content preparation to printing and binding.
This exhibition features the zines singled out by different bookstores in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Mainland, as well as some independent publications experimentally created by local designers and artists.
