VPL’s zine collection covers a wide range of topics, often representing marginalized viewpoints not found in mainstream publishing. Zines are handmade, underground publications that resemble little magazines. They are most often a labour of love, inspired by a need to communicate and connect, or to disseminate art or political ideas.
