Long time, no talk! There is a lot going on in the world of zines! Check out some of the listings here and please check back in the next couple of days – lots of new events, infoshops, and zine library info should be posted very soon.

First of all, Márcio Sno lives in Brazil and has completed part 1 of his documentary “Last Century Zinesters,” which came out earlier this year. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to make zines in Brazil, this documentary will give you a taste of the zine scene there.
