Every problem deserves to be shared.

What if problems aren't something to hide or solve as quickly as possible? What if they are something worth collecting, sharing, discussing – and even celebrating?

This is the question behind PROBLEMZINE, the first collaborative hyper-fanzine published by O.U.R. COOP – International Social Cooperative of Artists.

We believe that problems are not obstacles – they are resources. They carry experiences, knowledge, vulnerability, resistance, humor, and the potential to connect people. Whether personal, collective, or societal, every problem contains value. Through art, we want to uncover that value, make it visible, and open it up for discussion.

This zine is for everyone who thinks they're the only ones with problems.

Join us on this journey and you'll discover that things can always get worse... or better.

PROBLEMZINE is more than a publication – it's an ongoing collaborative experiment.

The zine is published twice a year, and every issue depends on the collective effort of artists, writers, designers, editors, organisers, volunteers, and supporters who believe that independent artistic publishing deserves to exist.

Become a O.U.R. COOP PATREON MEMBER you will directly support:

  • the production of future print and digital editions;
  • fair compensation for the artists and contributors involved;
  • collaborative artistic research;
  • independent publishing;
  • the growth of an international cooperative owned and shaped by its members.

You can subscribe to the digital or print edition or purchase individual print issues at any time on O.U.R. COOP PATREON PAGE.

Every contribution, large or small, helps us dedicate more time to making art together!

Share your problem

The next issue starts with you.

We're always collecting new problems.

You can submit your contribution via google form.

  • a personal, collective, or societal problem;
  • how it affects your life or practice;
  • whether you've tried to solve it;
  • what value your problem holds;
  • whether you'd recommend your problem to someone else;
  • whether sharing it publicly changes it.

Sometimes the most meaningful contribution isn't a solution – it's simply an honest problem.

Join our team!!!

If this zine resonates with you, don't stop at reading it.

We're always looking for artists, writers, illustrators, designers, editors, researchers, curators, organisers, and anyone who believes in cooperation, collective publishing, and the transformative power of art.
