GEOZONe – Geography Zine Organizing Network – is a transnational collective archiving zines and print ephemera broadly concerned with space, place, power, and the earth. Our collection is available for download, print, and distribution in academic and activist spaces. Explore the collection by tags, location, or language. We welcome submissions from zine-makers across the world: see our submission instructions here. We encourage readers to print and distribute materials as they see fit. You can follow us on instagram to receive periodic updates about new zines and any events or projects associated with the network.
The TNBI Cycling Project ran from March – July 2025 and was a collaboration between Matt Smith (University of Brighton), Beck Cedar (The Clare Project) and Lea Cooper (Zine-maker). The aim was to better understand the benefits, facilitators and barriers to cycling for Trans, Non-binary and Intersex (TNBI) folk in and around Brighton & Hove. It is the first academic study to focus on TNBI experiences of utility and leisure cycling. As a team we would like to extend our gratitude for all the TNBI folks who contributed to the discussion groups and the zine.
Embodying the Pipeline was created in partnership with Protect Our Water Heritage and Rights (POWHR), a nonprofit group in central Appalachia. POWHR is an integral part of the resistance to the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), a highly contested fracked gas pipeline that runs through much of West Virginia, parts of Virginia, and has a proposed extension into North Carolina. The zine is now used by POWHR as an educational and organizing tool for community members of all ages and backgrounds.

From these workshops, we have produced three zines focusing on the themes of routes, customary practices and emotions. Defi ala daefi? Mapping routes in Kingston is the first instalment of the mapping zines. The zine unpacks how people move through Kingston, including restrictions on mobility, and the importance of keeping Kingston open and accessible.
