With a long history of self-publishing and the potential to grow one of the largest #zine scenes in the world, India is as exciting as it is huge. Here's a thread on why, exactly... 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 #IZM2019

Bombay's first zine fest was an endeavour long in the making...✂️ "After more than 18 years of making #zines and setting up many reading spaces in the city, we, as @BombayUnder, organized the first Bombay Zine Fest in January 2017," says co-founder Himanshu. #IZM2019

"People turned up in large numbers," adds co-founder Aqui (@aquithami). "They were ready and willing to embrace the #zine scene." Two years later, and it's still going strong and has just celebrated its 2019 edition, across three days, this past March... 🎉 #IZM2019

Finally, @BombayUnder have big hopes for the future - including setting up a dedicated workshop space, as well as a #zine library for Mumbai (Bombay): bit.ly/2YElmWX (donate) 👈🏽👀💕 “The motive has always been to keep the underground alive!” says @aquithami 🔥 #IZM2019

Our friends @BrokenPencilMag have chronicled part of the Indian zine scene, in one of their zine reports: bit.ly/2L8MBWu 👈🏽✂️ 👏🏽 "I think the first people in Bombay to actually make #zines and hustle it in the streets was @BombayUnder," muses @aquithami... #IZM2019
