That’s why improving the sidewalk experience is just one of many initiatives Downtown Phoenix Inc. (DPI) has created to cultivate a better downtown.
And we’re not alone. In addition to focusing money and manpower on sidewalk activation through marketing, events and the amazing work of the Downtown Phoenix Partnership, we’re working with business leaders from our membership organization, Phoenix Community Alliance, and a host of volunteer and community organizations to create a more walkable, interesting and vibrant community.

We are committed to exploring how creative approaches to bookmaking [both in print and digitally] can foster cultural cross-pollination, constructive disruption, and community [re]creation. F*%K IF I KNOW//BOOKS is a home for text vessels: Think blood. Think boats. We want texts to flow, to float. To circulate. What is art? is a zine/comic/short story of me as a reporter asking a tough question, "what is art?", at the most unlikely places: Area 51. With interesting responses and a very unexpected response. 8 pages total.
vampire hag is a full size zine distro based in chatham, kent and it has been around selling mostly queer & feminist perzines since halloween 2009 (previously known as vampire sushi until 2019). it is run by tukru, a non-binary spooky bitch from finland. besides zines, the distro also sells tukru's art in sticker, badge and print form, but queer and feminist perzines will always be their main thing.
I make comix zines based on the beautiful mundanities of day to day life. Sometimes narrative, sometimes poems. A lot to do with navigating interpersonal relationships as well as relating to the self and dealing with the demons that arise there.
   This zine is mostly a vintage collage and poetry based magazine that focuses on blending the surreal with the emotional and obscure. From start to finish, I design it with the intention of taking the reader through a trip that has winding roads and straight freeways, but they never know which one they'll end up driving on next.
My zines are focused on a variety themes like daily life, water/swimming, nature and fantasy themes. I'm intrigued with water and fantasy as two of my main themes when being hyper prolific in creating a range zines.
This zine was created starting in 2019, where in that year we managed to issue two editions in the space of a few months. The focus of our zine discussion is to review the culture of football/soccer in Indonesia, starting from its supporters and supporters, various football/soccer clubs, and others in part.
At first, this zine was initiated by one person only, as time went on, there are now four people who have different roles. Some become collectors and information research, authors, and layout and design editors. Until 2020, we have issued four editions with various interesting discussions about the sport of football/soccer in Indonesia, and this year there will be a fifth edition. The majority of publications available through Into Ixistence focuses primarily on imagery as opposed to verbal communication allowing viewers of all backgrounds to enjoy, relate to, and understand our works.
In 2010, Heyt be! Fanzin was founded as a zine & artist collective by Deniz Beser and Sedef Karakas in Istanbul, Turkey. Heyt be!, which approaches its entire layout with collage logic and without the use of computers is an independent and timeless art publication defending analog against digital in this context.
Helen Shewolfe Tseng is an artist, designer, and witch, who was born to Taiwanese immigrants in the Deep South under a full moon. Their work often involves ritual, ancestral myth and mysticism, animal motifs, and the cosmic, and they use zines to cast spells and open portals.
I am an independent artist and zine maker working with photography, writing, and walking. I use zines to share my creative ideas with others and to experiment with new and interesting ways of making artwork. Making my art as accessible as possible is a core part of my process, and zines allow me to reach many people who would never interact with my work otherwise. The zines I make are lighthearted, conceptually minded, and made with cheap, readily available materials. I also am an avid zine collector, and I take much of the inspiration for my own work from looking at zines and self-published books.
I am ace and fat and I suffer from a chronic depression and I make zines about all of these things. Most of my zines are perzines but some aren't. My latest series is called The Mixtapes and consist of themed playlists.
Dumpster Poets is made up of Susan Nguyen and Meghan Kelsey, two poets who met during their MFA in creative writing days at ASU. We are both inspired by creating art, whether literary-related or not, with our hands and love that zines let us have agency over what and how we publish. Our zines have included found poetry, collage, mini tarots, and more!
Coin-Operated Press is an artist-led organisation established in 2020. We are based in Scotland and run by zine-makers Katie Mayes and Chloe Henderson. We host workshops, run zine fairs, create educational online content, produce, publish, and distribute our own collaborative zines.
We aim to welcome our own community of an open and fluid collective of people of all genders, sexualities, ages, races, abilities, and backgrounds to get involved in Coin-Operated Press. As a company, we strive to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. We value intersectional feminist culture and are especially interested in working with the LGBTQ + community and marginalised folks. We believe everybody is an artist, and all you need are the right tools and a little encouragement to have your voice heard in your own handmade publication. all of my mistakes (aomm) is a perzine about making mistakes. i write about dreams and driving and shadows; crappy kids in high school and losing friends and being stuck indoors; stars and love and caterpillars.
   YOLK was created when I was healing from Top Surgery. The object of the first issue was my past abusive relationship and the same hinge I learned through that Journey.
