Our community zines have covered various topics, including identity, intersectional feminism, migrational and diasporic experiences, migrant rights, decolonising food, Indigenous-migrant solidarities, sustainability, disability justice and movement-building. We first began producing and distributing our publications through cut & paste techniques and photocopying master copies of our zines. However, we have more recently shifted to utilising digital technologies and experimented with functioning as a printing press through funding from various organisations.

Migrant Zine Collective operates on a 100% volunteer-based model, relying on the passion and dedication of its members to continue our work. While we always aim to provide a living wage for the labour of our collective members and collaborators alike, community arts initiatives often face a lack of funding, making it difficult to sustain and continue our work. As a result, your generosity helps us achieve our goals and continue to amplify the voices of migrants of colour in Aotearoa and beyond. Your donations on Buy Me a Coffee help cover the costs of producing and distributing our zines and allow us to continue hosting workshops, events, and pop-up libraries that bring our communities together.
