CONTEXTUALIZATION:
The term fanzine combines “fan” (meaning an enthusiast or follower of something) and “zine” (short for magazine). It refers to non-commercial publications with a more underground focus, usually serving as a vehicle for spreading ideas, exchanging opinions, or expressing viewpoints. Fanzines have been especially prolific in music and comic book communities. They are typically self-published and produced using simple, low-budget resources. This type of publication was very popular during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, although it originated earlier. Nowadays, there is a resurgence of this practice, appealing particularly to fans of grunge design and alternative printed media.
DESCRIPTION:
An introduction to the concept of independent publications will be provided. Several examples of small press publications will be showcased. Various printing techniques commonly used in fanzines or artist books will be presented.
MATERIALS AND TOOLS:
Photographs; photocopies; magazine or newspaper clippings; transfer letters; stamps; papers.
X-acto knife or scalpel; scissors; glue stick, glue tube or spray adhesive; letter and shape templates.

After the success of the first edition in 2021, FanzineUltraViolenta returns in 2022. The basic concept is the same – the theme of alternative visual culture and independent publishing – but its format has been expanded and made more relevant, becoming an event that we hope will lay the foundations for the largest European meeting of alternative visual culture and the “DiY” phenomenon to take place in Aveiro in the near future. The central theme will be independent publishing and the fanzine as a form of socio-cultural expression that is highly relevant to the underground urban “tribes” that have developed over the last sixty years.
This year’s edition has several activities, such as exhibitions of fanzines from collections that have never been made public, art exhibitions with the illustrations contained in these publications, fairs on independent publications, DIY workshops, a series of talks on graphic design and alternative music concerts.
