Alex Papanastasiou
Her Suit is zine I made in March 2011. I collected individual hairs from various places on my body (upper lip, nipple, shin etc.), and photocopied them one-a-page alongside identifying labels. On the last page is an individual dedication to and story about the people who have most hated and most loved my hair. Righteous: A zine about art and ethics. Righteous was created by Ms Sanctimonious and Sister Superior; two students with a passion for critical thought and creativity.

The Collectivist is a collaborative work from an eclectic bunch of creatives.

NZCC New Zealand Comics Creators

Landroverfarm Press
I have made chapbooks all my poetry career since the 80s, from very small print runs. I’ve been fascinated with publishing since I used a gestetner at intermediate school and later at uni when I edited Craccum. I have been interested in zines and self-publishing all my life. I have just been patient and waited for technology and the means of production and turning 50. I figured by then I’d be a passable writer. I wanted to engage with the act of publishing myself, out of a cardboard box. I wanted to recycle. I wanted to be copy left. I wanted the process to be transparent and localised and most of all visible to others. Poets and writers publish. Enough said.
Oh Hi
Jemma Cheer lives in Palmerston North and has been making ‘Oh Hi’ zines and other stuff under that name for about three years now. Oh Hi is about creative minds in Palmy, however recently she’s been interviewing people from outside the Swamp (which is fun). The Oh Hi name has also released a few EPs- Jemmamarie and Robin, and Jemma hopes to have a few other bands under Oh Hi by the end of the year too. Yeah!
Polaroid Diaries
Polaroid Diaries conserves everything and nothing; coincidental events, friends, their quirks, thoughts, you and me, the crazy tree next door, a furious fight, happy – yeah!

Karin Hofko is currently living and working in Auckland, New Zealand. Her mum is from El Salvador/ C.A. and her dad is Bavarian, Germany.
