Zinefest was part of the semester-long initiative the CitiZine Project, sponsored by UCA’s division of Outreach & Community Engagement. The CitiZine Project explored what it means to be a citizen and how to actively participate in moving society toward a common good.
Zines (pronounced zeens), self-published booklets on special interest topics, were created on topics relating to the overarching theme of civic engagement as part of the CitiZine Project. Zines for this project were made in workshops, academic classes or independently by UCA students, faculty, staff and other members of the community. In the art gallery at UCA Downtown, selected pages from submitted zines were enlarged for display. These pages represented a sampling of all of the thoughts and ideas collected throughout the project. Opinions and beliefs represented belong to the individual authors of each zine and may not reflect the views held by the University of Central Arkansas.
