Wellington Zinefest returns to the Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation's Te Aro Campus for their annual mid-year market, with a brand-new theme: Zines Only

Zine Market

Te Aro Campus is proud to host Wellington Zinefest's winter market. For this particular market, stallholders are asked to exclusively sell or trade zines - no other items allowed.

The aim is to experiment with the market format and keep things new and interesting. For example, the 2021 Winter Zine Market had a $5 Price Limit for all items. In 2020 we ran Newbies Market, which was only open to new or first-time stallholders.

These themes aren't permanent changes, and are only intended for individual markets.

The market will open to the public with 'accessibility hour', which runs from 11am - 12pm.

This is a chance for any visitors who, for whatever reason, can't attend when our markets are crowded. We'll have no music and try to maintain a low-stimulation environment.


There will also be a Community Table, which is a free stall where one of the Zinfest volunteers will sell other people's zines on their behalf. Generally this is for people who can't, or don't want to, sell their zines themselves. Zine makers can submit their zines to sell on this stall.

More information about the Winter Market can be found on the Zinefest website.

Dr Leon Gurevitch showcases astrophotography in the Wellington City Council Cobblestone Lightboxes, with images taken in dark sky reserves across Aotearoa.

Te Whānau Mārama

Aotearoa is home to some of the best dark sky reserves in the world. This exhibition showcases portrait astrophotographs from iconic landmarks and areas around Te-Whanganui-A-Tara and Te Waiponamu.

Te Whānau Mārama, literally translates to Family of Light, and refers to celestial bodies – the sun, moon, stars and constellations, as well as phosphorescent light. Successful astrophotography must find balance between capturing the multifaceted lights of our galaxy and trying to minimise the impacts of pervasive artificial phosphorescent light. Careful consideration is given to the locations of Dark Sky reserves, so that sky gazers can see the light of the galaxy unimpeded by industrial scale illumination and pollution.

As well as showcasing large photographic prints, this exhibition uses site maps, galaxy orientations and photographic technical context to show audiences just how close sites of astrophotographic experience are to Wellington. One of these sites is Wairarapa, which has recently become a designated dark sky reserve. Dr Gurevitch aims to create public awareness of these incredible locations while providing an inspiring visual experience.

These Lightbox arrangements use backlight to bring low-light images to life and are best viewed at night. The Lightbox works are displayed in conjunction with the large-scale landscape images exhibited in Te Aro Window Gallery on Dunlop Terrace in May 2023. This photographic collection overlaps with Astrodata: a data visualisation project in collaboration with Yale University Lens Media Lab.

Te Wāhanga Waihanga-Hoahoa—Wellington Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation is proud to partner with the Wellington City Council to activate the Cobblestone Lightboxes with visual creative research and art practices from academic staff and postgraduate students at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington.

A similar large-scale astrophoto by Dr Gurevitch is also exhibited on glass at Te Herenga Waka's Rutherford House.

View these works in the Cobblestone Park lightboxes on Vivian Street, Te Aro.

April–October 2023
