Tauranga Zinefest

Tauranga Zinefest at Tauranga Art Gallery is an annual free highlight for creatives and it's back on 24 July. For the uninitiated, a zine (pronounced zeen) is usually a small, handmade magazine that can be on any topic under the sun - often quirky, funny and offbeat, which is what makes this free day lots of fun, and open to all walks of life. On top of perusing the goods from zinemakers across the North Island, there'll be live spoken word poetry 'snippets' throughout the day, and poet and author Dominic Hoey will be holding a creative writing workshop. Come along on the day - 10am til 3pm - and follow us at @taurangazlnefest.
