Why Do Zines Even Matter? (Zine)

Why Do Zines Even Matter? is a short, thoughtful poem by local artist and writer Bevin O’Brien that reflects on the quiet power of zines as tools for expression, connection, and care.

In just a few pages, this zine celebrates the handmade, the personal, and the imperfect—reminding us that small, independent voices matter, and that sharing ideas doesn’t have to be loud or polished to be meaningful.

A gentle, reflective piece that invites readers to slow down and consider why we make things, why we share them, and why that act still matters.

100% of proceeds from this Zine will be donated to the Pollinator Partnership, an organization working to protect pollinators.
