As a creative endeavour from Mun Yeong, Shermene, and Chya Chyi, Bang Bang Zine centres on the art of storytelling with illustration in the medium of independent zine and print publication. Founded in 2017, our zine initiative formed together with a bunch of friends is inspired by the local-tea-drinking culture. Untried ideas have their voices heard through the making of zines. It is fascinating w
hen we see works come to fruition from a tiny story to finished publishing, but not limited to this medium. To us, stories always matter. The intriguing name of “Bang Bang Zine” is extended from the term that we love how different ideas bang with different sparks. In BBZ, play is our serious work in creating new possibilities. We hope to remind people to value the need for play no matter in good times or adversity. Under the brand Bang Bang Zine, we're running a risograph printing studio called INKINK DER (IID) based in the neighbourhood of Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. With risograph, we want to encourage people to create the aesthetic of their life using this medium from levels of art, business and education. The desire of bringing you more beautiful zine varieties has never faded from the beginning. We see ourselves growing to be a multifaceted brand: not just a zine publisher, but also a zine store, a risograph press, an illustration company, a curated gallery, and a playground for you to embrace stories and express with creativity. For those who are interested in risograph, we suggest you come over to our studio (with an appointment) or have a video call to have a brief understanding before printing.
