A4 Zine and this blog were one of our first ideas during EVS in A4. How did it actually start?
We had our weekly meeting about project and then we just realised that we have a lot of events suitable for non-Slovak speaking people, but it's not promoted! We already knew a bit how it is to be a foreigner in Slovakia and experienced looking for an entertainment for ourselves, something more than just basic parties and drinking. We were struggling, though in Bratislava it's still much easier than in smaller towns!
So we started our adventure and it was a long travel!
We wanted to include every month events, so we were analysing program and searching for all cool stuff such as cinema with English subtitles, concerts, festivals happening in A4 space, etc. We didn't want to pick due to our taste, while everyone should be able to chose by himself and enjoy! We also wanted to write our thoughts, reviews from past events or promote upcoming with a longer text. Sometimes we had an opportunity to speak with artists and other guests, then we presented to you some interviews.
Our design idea was to change it due to natural seasons, especially colours. But it developed much more and #1 zine is waaaaaay different from #8. Check it out!
#8 was our last edition, so we wanted it to look special. It was bigger format with a poster on one side. It was a big chellange for a content and design as well, so we were more than happy to share it with you!
From September there will be new volunteers coming and we are looking forward to pass the A4 Zine under their care. New people, new ideas, only good things can come with it.
We are hoping that you enjoyed it as much as we did :)
Let's go through the season one more time!
