The Cross Comix Zine Kiosk is a central part of the festival where you can buy the best zines from around the world.
In March, we bring a compact version of the kiosk, featuring the most beautiful, inspiring, and diverse zines, to a new audience in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova. On March 14 and 15, 2026, the mini Zine Kiosk will land at the Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu Municipal Library.
The collection includes works by Never Brush My Teeth, Studio Fidèle, Hand Saw Press and more than 50 other artists and independent publishers. The exhibition is brought to Moldova by Dasha Starostin, passionate promoter and advocate of independent publishing and experimental visual storytelling. She curates the Cross Comix Zine Kiosk and scouts emerging talent at international festivals during her travels. As a co-founder of a risography studio Vlinderboom, she fosters creativity and collaboration within the world of print.
