In the world of independent media, the zine is pirate radio’s cousin. It is typically self-published by a person who lacks formal credentials and dedicated to a single aspect of pop culture. Its production values tend to be low, and its circulation small. It tends to have an underground flavour. The personality and unfiltered enthusiasm of its creator permeate every one of its pages.

3 Forks Zine is our idiosyncratic take on this time-honoured institution. It is the place where we collect our diverse sources of inspiration. We acknowledge gastronomical and architectural masters. We record monumental creative achievements, independent of discipline: sculpture, poetry, philosophy, technology, sport — all are within the Zine’s purview. We revive the past, relish the present, and point a beacon toward possible futures. Our production values might be high, the rough edges might be ironed out, but our enthusiasm and personality are given free rein. Our content might often be ethereal but our attitude is always grounded.

3 Forks Zine is more than the accumulation of texts and images, however. It is fundamentally a reservoir of ideas which we regularly tap into. Some of these ideas become full-fledged projects. Others remain dormant — deposits that always bear the promise of future dividend.
