The team behind Wellington Zinefest has recently begun rolling out Local Queers - a multi-artist zine project seeing four Pōneke artists create a series of portrait minizines capturing local people in the queer community.
Artists June Moth, Arden Etoile, Mil Hampy and Jewelia Howard have all taken part in the project, capturing a mixture of people - some of whom were chosen by the artists themselves, others who were nominated by members of the community.
The zines are currently going for five dollars, with the proceeds being donated to local rainbow organisations.
Liam spoke to Wellington Zinefests Liam Goulter, as well as participating artist Arden Etoile, about the zines. Whakarongo Mai!
