Zines of the Zone-rekin topaketa, argazkigintzako autoedizio lanen liburutegi mugikorra = Encuentro con Zines of the Zone, una biblioteca móvil de autoedición de fanzines = Meeting with Zines of the Zone, a nomadic library of fanzine desktop publishing

Self-publishing has seen an amazing boom in the past decade. Stuck in-between the tradition of artist books and the activism of punk fanzines, this practice is multi-faceted and claims various influences. As a consequence of this new trend, a lot of platforms and structures have been developed in order to share these independent publications with the public: festivals and fairs, museums, catalogues and blogs, libraries and collections…

Zines of the Zone is a non-commercial and nomadic project which aims to promote DIY productions around Europe. Their aim is also to focus on photography in a way that would cross the artistic practice of photography with the use of pictures as documents.

During this talk they will shortly present the phenomenon of self-publishing, its economy, the idea of creating a library, of making it mobile and the wish to share the philosophy of "Do It Yourself".
