WELLINGTON ZINEFEST

Code of Conduct

We want Wellington Zinefest events to be inclusive spaces where people who enjoy the craft of zine making can share that passion with others. The spirit of Zinefest is one of collaboration and community, and as such we aim to foster an environment where everyone participating is treated with respect and kindness, regardless of their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age or physical ability.

We’re dedicated to ensuring that Zinefest events are a positive and safe experience for everyone involved, and we expect all vendors and attendees to uphold this. If you feel you are made unsafe or uncomfortable, please let one of us know and we will deal with the situation accordingly.

Wellington Zinefest does not tolerate any kind of harassment. Any vendors or attendees that participate in any sort of behaviour that constitutes harassment, including offensive comments, stalking, unwanted physical contact or unwelcome sexual attention will be asked to stop the inappropriate behaviour and comply immediately when asked. This may also include being asked to leave the event and banning from future Zinefest events.

If you are distributing material that can be considered offensive or discriminatory you may be asked to leave. We cannot vet all zines and other distributed material by vendors prior to or on the day of the event. If you are aware of anyone who intends to distribute offensive or discriminatory material, purposefully or otherwise, please get in contact with us.

Finally if you are taking photos or video always ask people before you take their photo or start filming, and respect their response.

If you have any concerns about the event or the comfort and safety of yourself or anyone you know attending, please get in contact with us. wellingtonzinefest@gmail.com
