Step 01
Write a few prompts
“What’s one thing you’ll remember?” “Drop your best photo.”
You decide what to include in your zine,
and your community responds.
*zine?
= small
magazine!

For community organizers and intimate gatherings
That connection from your event
shouldn’t disappear.
Turn it into a zine* your community can revisit.
Built from the stories, reflections, and moments that would otherwise go unseen.
You hosted something real.
People showed up. Connected. Felt something shift.
And then it ended.
At best, a photo dump in a group chat.
But what mattered wasn’t the pretty photos.
It was the conversations.
The unexpected insights.
The silly random thing that became an inside joke, still making you giggle.
And the only tool we’ve had to capture it — social media — has become a performative marketing media! So genuine stories are not shared there anymore either.
No record of what people thought in a slow, longer tempo.
No way for new people to learn what your community feels like.
No artifact your community made together.
How it works
Making a zine together is easier than you think.
Step 02

At the event, after, or both.
