Abstract
The politically unstable culture and the economic and social crisis that hit Cyprus—and
the Mediterranean area in general—in 2013 have driven local art and design scenes to search for
and find new non-traditional publishing forms. The current exploratory case will present the
cultural diversity of Cyprus’ art and design scene through the experimental type and image of OWK
zine. The case study will focus on the contributions that have been submitted to the zine so far,
spanning one and a half years and numbering five issues (2015-2016). The results of this case study
should allow us to better understand the importance of zines and independent publishing to the
diverse art and design landscape of Cyprus.
