Other Worlds Zine Fair 2015

Overview

May 23 marks the second outing of Other Worlds Zine Fair, an alternative space for comic book artists and zine makers to showcase and sell the fruits of their creativity. Originally a boycott action against Transfield Holdings' sponsorship of the 2014 Sydney Biennale, Other Worlds continues to provide local and international artists autonomy from suspect corporate support.

The main zine fair is at Glebe Town Hall, with over 70 independent artists present, and this year the program has expanded into a three-day series of events and workshops throughout the inner west. Participating venues include The Rizzeria's Leichhardt printshop and Monster Mouse Studios at Marrickville.

Other Worlds also seeks to generate discussion and raise awareness of the impact of detention centres in Australia and includes initiatives such as The Refugee Art Project among its participants.
