Zine-Making is a non-commercial print-making that was first created in the 1930s in Chicago in USA. The art involves creating a small booklet with the content of choice and making it look visually attractive. Zine-making may have existed for nearly a century, but started gaining popularity in India recently. Here is a list of zine makers and their work that is worth checking out. 

Hari Chakyar  
Hari Damodaran Chakyar is an advertiser by profession. He took up zine-making during the pandemic-induced lockdown and, since then, has been dabbling in the profession. He also draws and illustrates. His zine, Man Like Damu is an experiment in cyanotype storytelling in which he talks about his relationship with his father and how his quiet presence was impactful.
