Black zine community comes together to share and learn
The Black Zine Fair, a free event held at the Powerhouse Arts (PHA) Grand Hall on Saturday, May 11, invited zine makers, educators, collectors, and those interested in zines to gather; trade or sell zines; and exchange knowledge about zine-making, publishing, and do-it-yourself culture.
Featuring 30 to 50 exhibitors, the Black Zine Fair presented in-person programs, including an all-day zine trading station and workshops featuring zine-making, screen printing, and generative writing.

The fair was organized by Sojourners for Justice Press (SJP), a micro press that opens its platform to people working experimentally with print-based media that engages do-it-yourself, Black feminist, and abolitionist philosophies or visions. SJP was founded by Mariame Kaba and is co-directed by Neta Bomani. Co-sponsors included the Barnard Zine Library, the Free Black Women’s Library, “Logic(s)” Magazine, Orange Tangent Study, and Powerhouse Arts.
