Bombay's first zine fest was an endeavour long in the making...✂️
"After more than 18 years of making #zines and setting up many reading spaces in the city, we, as @BombayUnder, organized the first Bombay Zine Fest in January 2017," says co-founder Himanshu. #IZM2019
Bombay Underground retweeted
"People turned up in large numbers," adds co-founder Aqui (@aquithami). "They were ready and willing to embrace the #zine scene."
Two years later, and it's still going strong and has just celebrated its 2019 edition, across three days, this past March... 🎉 #IZM2019

Finally, @BombayUnder have big hopes for the future - including setting up a dedicated workshop space, as well as a #zine library for Mumbai (Bombay): bit.ly/2YElmWX (donate) 👈🏽👀💕
“The motive has always been to keep the underground alive!” says @aquithami 🔥 #IZM2019

Our friends @BrokenPencilMag have chronicled part of the Indian zine scene, in one of their zine reports: bit.ly/2L8MBWu 👈🏽✂️ 👏🏽
"I think the first people in Bombay to actually make #zines and hustle it in the streets was @BombayUnder," muses @aquithami... #IZM2019
Bombay Underground retweeted
"Bombay Zine Fest was the very first time a large volume of self-published books and #zines from all over the world, as well as India, was displayed together for people to interact with," says @aquithami. "There was also a space where people could create their own zine." #IZM2019
We will be at the @SisterLibrary #artbazaar at @SocialOffline with #zines and #prints
#allgold – at Mumbai, India
#Callingforcontributions send your entries before the 23rd of June !
#gay #lesbian #growingup #teen #zine – at Mumbai, India
We want to make a zine that becomes a comforting evidence for lesbian + gay teens (and young adults) that they’re not alone.
