The Renaissance of Printed Zines is a research project by Michał Chojecki (Oficyna Peryferie) exploring the return of zines in the contemporary publishing landscape. Focusing on post-digital print practices, the publication asks why handmade, low-cost, and self-organized zines matter again today.

Oficyna Peryferie is an artists run independent publishing house. We focus on a form of artistic publications, with particular emphasis on zines as a post-digital social medium.
Founded in 2014, we’ve been making friends, books, and zines, sharing resources, and building a local publishing community ever since.
We believe in cooperation and reject competition.
We run several initiatives:
> Warsaw Zine Library – a reading room for artistic publications;
> Crit Club – a collective learning platform and discussion group;
> Riso Print Club – a community lab for Riso printing and bookbinding
Our mission is to strengthen and expand self-publishing practices in the field of visual arts in Poland and present them in a broader, international perspective.
In recent years, we’ve taken part in major art book fairs and festivals, including: LA Art Book Fair 2023, Tokyo Art Book Fair 2022, African Art Book Fair 2024, MISS Read Berlin, Bergen Art Book Fair, VOLUMES Zurich, Paris Ass Book Fair — and many more.
We still don’t quite understand where we’re going to.
And that’s okay.
