Since we can't have a physical zine exhibition during #IZM2021 the library team selected zines from the collections which resonated with us and put together a virtual walk-through of some of our most memorable and meaningful zines to us ✂️💙✂️
To celebrate International Zine Month we are launching our online exhibition of fanzines, perzines, and zines of resistance.
Read our personal connections to these zines and tell us which zines have impacted you?
