ZINES 01 (RESEARCH)

In the past two decades a quiet revolution has gained force: over 50,000 "zines" (independent, not-for-profit self-publications) have emerged and spread - mostly through the mail, with little publicity. Flaunting off-beat interests, extreme personal revelations and social activism, zines directly counter the pseudo-communication and glossy lies of the mainstream media monopoly. These interviews capture all the excitement associated with uncensored freedom of expression, while offering insight, inspiration and delight.
