The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Over Here Zine Fest and Dal Kular present 'We’ve got food at home! Zine fest!

A day of zines (small DIY hand-made magazines) from local makers, a food themed pop up zine library and all day drop in zine workshop where you can contribute your own food themed zine pages!

This is a celebration of our beautiful global cuisines that we cook and eat in our homes everyday. We’ll explore what our food means to us as migrant communities, our favourite international stores, foodie memories, connections, recipes and more.

A day of zines, global tunes and nibbles!

Applications for a table to share your zines at the fest open till 17 May.

Over Here Zine Fest started in 2018 by a group of Global Majority zine making friends based in Manchester with the aim of building self-sustaining alternative models for publishing, art, activism and collaboration in our communities. The zine fest itself is a non for profit annual event that showcases the work of Black/Asian/POC/Global Majority zine makers, artists, writers and activists.
