Parramatta Zine Fair is a creative celebration of Burramattagal country – the multicultural city of Parramatta. This zine fair aims to highlight local creatives and amplify the voices of under-represented communities from across Greater Western Sydney.
We are inviting local zine-makers, visual artists, designers, photographers, poets, writers, and indie publishers to showcase original art, literature, and independent publications celebrating diversity in culture, languages, stories and people. Zine-makers and creatives from outside of Parramatta are also welcome to apply.
