A zine is technically a small-format, DIY published booklet about anything for any reason or subject. But even that wide-open description is too narrow to encapsulate the offerings of the Miami Zine Fair, which welcomes anyone and everyone to the tactile pleasures of printmaking and publishing in almost any form.

Launched in 2015 by experimental publisher EXILE Projects and O Miami’s Poetry Month, the Zine Fair carries the idea of creativity off its pedestal and places it within anybody’s reach. Last year’s fair drew about 2,000 visitors and 70 exhibitors. Expansion was inevitable.

This year’s edition — also free and all-ages — will have 100 exhibitors gathered at Paradise Plaza in Miami’s Design District. As fairgoers peruse the work of artisans from near and far, they’ll all also have access to a curated presenter lineup showing how these small wonders are made through hands-on, how-to workshops.

The Zine Fair’s Amanda Keeley shared several highlights with PureHoney, starting with Josefina Seba, a Barcelona-based maker of elaborate 3-D publications who will walk fairgoers through her techniques, enabling them to create their own unique paper atmospheres.

There is Lara Cahill-Booth, who will lead Dear Future. Participants can engage in playful thinking and self-directed creativity to compose speculative microfiction about evolving environments, and create postcards sharing “memories” from Miami in the year 2075.

Activist, journalist, and educator Nadege Green, from Black Miami Dade, will lead a Black Miami collage workshop using archival images, in a historical teach-in meets art-making session whose participants will leave with an 8×11 piece of Miami history they have a hand in creating.

Artist Alex Belardo Kostiw is producing Kaleidocycle: A Neverending Zine, which explodes linear narratives through — as the name suggests — cycling, kaleodoscopic zines. The workshop demonstrates how artist zines weave content, form, and interactivity to forge new narratives. Participants will get to dream up a short story about a cycle of change and craft it into a four-page kaleidocycle.

Keely also sounds excited to welcome Michele Oka Doner to the fair for a reading and signing of her new zine, “Hello Whale,” and a screeing of its companion documentary.

The Miami Zine Fair runs noon-5pm Saturday, April 4 at Paradise Plaza in the Miami Design District. miamizinefair.com ~ Tim Moffatt
