Limerick Zine Fest; STARLING with the Freedom shop & Rebel Reads

May 3rd & 4th, 2024
As part of Limerick’s first Zinefest STARLING partners independent book shops; Rebel Reads (IE) and The Freedom Shop (NZ) to bring a selection of political publications, zines, and books to Limerick city.

Rebel Reads is a radical book shop, meeting space and center for leftist activity and alternative groups and individuals in Cork city. The Freedom Shop is a not-for-profit anarchist bookshop and info-centre in support of DIY anarchist culture through the publication and distribution of accessible information, based in Te Whanganui-A-Tara / Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.

This exchange was facilitated by Kathleen Winter (Freedom shop, Wellington Zinefest) and Decy (Rebel Reads). Zines sent over from Aotearoa were circulated between vendors and visitors to the stall, traded for Irish zinemakers content. Limerick Zinefest is held at the Wickham Way in Limerick City.

A selection of publications and zines from Rebel Reads and the Freedom Shop are available to view in Limerick, get in touch with us if you’re interested.
