WHAT IS A ZINE?
"A zine is most commonly a small circulation publication of original or appropriated texts and images." (University of Texas Libraries, 2022)An example of a zine is the Scholar's Survival Guide, coordinated by PSHS students as well. Their zine featured works based on student life with an apocalyptic aesthetic.
