The MZA aims to be a space run by a collective of zine readers, zine makers and other enthusiasts who strive to make zines accessible for the local community, in partnership with @artslinknb 🔹 Zines have been, and continue to be, an important and open medium of expression. A D.I.Y. ethos, decentralized distribution and no barriers to entry make them extremely versatile and hard to censor. This has led to zines being a staple for radical movements, political education, art and punk subcultures, queer and BIPOC communities, and other ‘deviant’ streams of society. The MZA believe they should be cherished, protected, and promoted. 🔹 They now have shelves at: 📍 Saint John Arts Centre (20 Peel plaza) and 📍 ArtsLink NB office (94 Prince William St.) 🔹 🆓‼️ All zines are there are free to take! 🔹 (They also distribute zines at various community events, please reach out if you’d like them to bring zines to an event.) 🔹 Learn more here: https://sjcommunity.ca/menahkwesk-zine-archive/ Saint John Arts Centre
