On November 7-8th I went to the Zinefest in Berlin. It was my first time there, so of course I was very excited. I was tableing on both days, but still had plenty of time to chat with other zinesters, look around and buy/trade zines, listen to some of the zine readings, go to the “visibility and diversity in illustration” workshop and take photos.
Here you can see the entrance of the zine fest:
The open zine wall looked so nice! People who didn’t have a table to sell their zines, could leave some copies there, mention a price and collect the money that was left at the end of the day. And of course there were also yummy vegan cakes by Minor Treat… here’s a biscuit that has a “zines” decoration:
The zine forest made by ReKult from Amsterdam:
Here’s a zinester reading from her zines and my table on the first day (already sold out some of my zines and sold almost all of them at the end of the second day):
See you next year!
Found plenty of interesting zines in Berlin:

This is awesome! I love all the extras they had there (like the treats and the forest). How wonderful 🙂
yes, that was great! weren’t there things like that at the zine fests you’ve been to?
Alas! I was only at one zine fest. But the Boston one also had a zine-making corner, a screen-printing workshop, a photobooth. On the first day there was also a marbled-paper-making workshop too. That was super fun!
Wow, yes, sounds like fun indeed!
