About Grupptryck ↴

Grupptyck: Magazine and Zine Festival is one of the few dedicated magazine festivals in the world and the only one of its kind in Sweden. The festival is organized by Tablå and was created in response to a need for both a gathering place and a forum for the contemporary scene of self-published magazines, while also situating it within a historical context.

The festival’s first edition took place on May 17-18 2025 at Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus, welcoming over 30 editorial teams and 600 visitors, and was highlighted, among other outlets, by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.

Grupptyck was initiated by Felicia Granath, Moa Forsberg Ardelius, and Ester Svanevik, who also make up the board of Tablå Cultural Association.
