The Zineteca is an archive space that hosts three collections of zines [La Maleta fanzinera, project Narración gráfica, and the archive (Zineteca)] containing over 8,000 national and international titles. It has 5 private spaces and two public ones (200 m²), including a consultation area and a workspace where seminars, exhibitions, and meetings take place: drawing evenings, painting, zines, etc. It offers printing services, a mobile types atelier, and artists specialized in graphics (comics, zines) and screen printing with a focus on plastic arts (painting, installation). On the second level, there is a kitchen for residents and bathroom facilities. It is located in the San Felipe neighborhood, close to galleries, cultural spaces, and leisure venues.
Facilities
The project's methodology is designed for all those interested in experimental publications, visual arts, contemporary art, comics and fanzines. Participants access the project through two components: The introspective component where participants express their ideas individually and establish aesthetic, poetic and political connections through zine afternoons and open labs at Bloque Pedagógico; and the collective component which promotes interaction, reflection and the development of critical tolerance through workshops, meeting spaces and activations. These spaces for reflection and consensus-building highlight the need for coordinated action among diverse players in the artistic and cultural field, with their differences and divergences, particularly those linking the editorial and artistic fields with local processes. In this sense, the activities are conceived as workshop and lab spaces that remain constantly open as meeting points for experimentation and reflection, allowing participants to appropriate them as centers for production, training and circulation both in the physical space and on the virtual platform. Throughout the programming, audiovisual records are made under the TV CHUNGA concept, featuring live sessions and interviews in the workshop-lab with guests, enabling participants, audiences and invitees to transform the exhibition space according to their needs, explorations and discoveries.
Schedule
The schedule is set from 8 am to 6 pm (though we're flexible and can extend these hours when needed). The studio remains accessible throughout the week. Unplanned activities are not permitted.
