On Sunday April 22nd The Dublin Co-op will be hosting Ireland's fourth annual
Independents Day. Independents Day is daylong zine fair, which celebrates &
promotes D.I.Y. culture, whilst encouraging independent artists from the local
community. It also serves to create awareness about ongoing local and international
social movements, events and issues.
Zines are independent non-commercial, non-professional, small-circulation, do-ityourself
style magazines. There is little limitation on the subject matter and style of
individual zines. They range anywhere from social commentary and music discussion to
personal stories and experiences. The creators produce, publish and distribute the
zines themselves. There is a long history of zine production in Ireland; beginning in
1977 with Raw Power produced by members of seminal Irish punk band the Radiators
From Space.
Irish zines include Loserdom, The RAG, Baby Beef, The Devil On 45 and many others.
All will be available on the day along with other zines and radical books from Britain,
Europe, Canada and the USA.
Also featured on the day is a variety of live music from Melodica Deathship,
Deepinthewoods66, DJs and many more, as well as spoken word performances,
screenings, workshops and poetry. As well this, local independent artists will have
their work on display and there will be a range of stalls with information on various
independent political and community organizations.
The Dublin Food Co-op will also have their store open, as well as the Co-op Café,
serving coffee, tea and lunch. A map to The Dublin Food Co-op is available at
