GRATITUDE DAY 1: P.O.C. ZINE PROJECT

Race Riot tour banner by Cristy C. Road

POC Zine Project's mission is to make all zines by (People of Color) easy to find, distribute and share. We are an experiment in activism and community though materiality.

POC Zine Project produces community-building experiences, curates a traveling POC zine exhibition, is establishing an archive, and produces a website that shares POC zines while providing grants, tools and events for zinesters.

I've had the pleasure of collaborating with founder Daniela Capistrano and People of Color (POC) Zine Project since 2010. In the past 2 years, POCZP has grown from a nascent group of zine enthusiasts with a mission, to an absurdly well-organized, determined group of artists, makers, historians & theorists. They are changing the ways we write, tell, and make history--from zines, to the academy, to the culture at large.

Earlier this Fall, POC Zine Project took the Race Riot! Tour through 14 American cities, bringing people of color-authored zines to populations all over the country. POCZP also partnered with homeless activist Carey Fuller to release a zine series in Spring of 2013 by and for people living at/below the poverty line, as a community-building tool and training resource for agencies, academic programs, grassroots collectives and anyone else interested in ending poverty. Follow POCZP's social channels to stay informed about new and legacy zines by people of color, the 2013 Race Riot! tour through the Southwest/West Coast, and more:

Working with POC Zine Project has helped me better understand coalition-building between people of color-led movements and white allies. The depth of knowledge, experience, and partnership that Daniela and POCZP have brought into my own life is immeasurable. Thank you for all that you have done, and all that you continue to do!

SPEAKING AT NYU TONIGHT!

This evening I'll be presenting in NYU's "Gender and Performance" class on zines, and specifically, my zine International Girl Gang Underground. The class has been instructed to author a zine as their final project, so I'll be speaking about my motivations for creating IGGU (with co-editor Stacy Konkiel) as well as leading a zine how-to segment and leaving plenty of time for questions.

I broke out these "Frankenstein" zine pages to show the students--you know the ones, made up of layers of glue, ink, and cut-up paper. The ones you eventually xerox to become your first set of flats. It's interesting to see these pages as objects unto themselves.

It's exciting for me to have the chance to discuss my zine--and zines in general--in an academic context. That said, contact me if you are looking for someone to lead a workshop / presentation / event at your university on these topics!

ZINES: A Facebook List

I recently began curating a list of zines for Facebook users to subscribe to. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to be included.

ZINES Facebook list

ZINES + PRESS

BRAIN WAVES is the current cover photo on the Recession Art website, an unexpected surprise! And news to us is that one of our zines (Caroline Paquita's Womanimalistic) is featured as a feminist lit pick for the upcoming show at Recession Art CultureFix, Still Figuring it Out: a feminist coming of age, curated by RAC's own Ana Cecilia Alvarez. Which is exciting.

Additionally, The Wall Street Journal interviewed me about zine culture, as well as the Brooklyn College Library Zine Collection's grand unveiling last Tuesday, with the debut of Fold, Staple, Share. My comments didn't make it into the article, but For the Birds' zine So You Want to Start a Feminist Collective... did grace the cover of the Greater New York section.

At the Fold, Staple, Share opening, I read a newly edited version of "This is a Thank You Song," which originated as a piece on this blog. I plan on sharing the new version of that article here soon, as it focuses even more on the idea of creating safer spaces.

BROOKLYN COLLEGE ZINE COLLECTION OPENING: TUES., JULY 31

FOLD, STAPLE, SHARE OPENS TONIGHT

READINGS AT 7PM!

Brooklyn College Library Unveils Zine Collection: 

Opening Celebration to Include Zine Readings and Exhibition,

July 31, 2012 7-9pm

Brooklyn, NY -- In celebration of the newly-established Brooklyn College Library Zine Collection, an opening celebration will be held on Tuesday, July 31 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, in Brooklyn College Library’s Christoph M. Kimmich Reading Room (1^st floor). The event, which is open to the public, will feature zine readings, refreshments, an exhibition, and will represent the official unveiling of the browsing collection.

Zines (a contraction of “magazines”) are independent publications often authored/assembled by an individual or small group, reproduced on a photocopier, and distributed inexpensively in small runs, or traded from person to person. Zine collections are increasingly being established by librarians and archivists in an effort to include underrepresented perspectives and unique points of view in library collections.

The exhibition, entitled Fold, Staple, Share: Highlights from the Brooklyn College Library Zine Collection, will run throughout the summer and fall semesters and will spotlight notable zines from the collection, as well as information about zine-making and zine culture.

The reading on July 31 will feature local Brooklyn zinesters Kate Angell, Elvis Bakaitis, Tommy Pico, and Kate Wadkins, as well as Brooklyn College students Afrah Ahmed, Emma Karin Eriksson, and Tzirel Norman, among others.

The Brooklyn College Library Zine Collection specializes in zines that relate to Brooklyn, zines by Brooklyn College students and alumni, zines about zines, and other zines that relate to the student body and curriculum of Brooklyn College. The Zine Collection was founded in 2011 by Alycia Sellie, Media and Cultural Studies Librarian at Brooklyn College Library, with assistance from two cohorts of summer zine interns: Devon Nevola and Robin Potter (2011), and Sarah Rappo and Erica Saunders (2012). Whenever possible, two copies of each zine are collected: one will be in the open browsing collection, accessible whenever the library is open; the other will be placed in Special Collections at the library, accessible by appointment.

For more information on the Brooklyn College Library Zine Collection, please contact Alycia Sellie or visit http://brooklyncollegezines.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

C.L.I.T. FEST ZINE READING
taking place in-between bands

Julia B. of POC Zine Project has a day job in academia, but spends a lot of time talking too much – once upon a time for posterity and small change in spoken-word venues, these days anywhere she pleases for less and more meaningful reasons. They can be found online at War in a Dress.

Rachel Levy is a zinester with roots in New York City and Baltimore, Maryland. She co-edits Hoax, a compilation zine dedicated to bringing feminism into everyday life. Rachel has also written various perzines on the topics such as queer identities and histories, community building and creative participation in activist spaces, “call-out culture,” and more. C.L.I.T. Fest rules and she is super stoked to participate!

Cristy C. Road is a 29-year-old, Brooklyn-based Cuban-American illustrator and writer who’s been contributing to queer arts, punk, writing, & activism since 1996. Road published a zine, Greenzine for ten years, and has released three books: Indestructible, Distance Makes the Heart Grow Sick, andBad Habits. She’s currently working on a Tarot Card deck with author Michelle Tea, a graphic memoir entitled Spit and Passion, and her band The Homewreckers.

Sari co-edits the feminist compilation zine Hoax and writes the perzine You’ve Got A Friend In Pennsylvania. They are currently zine-ing about topics such as sexual assault, queer relationships, dealing with the intricacies of femininity & masculinity as a non-binary trans* person, challenging the oppressive dynamics of punk, and a queer feminist Harry Potter fan fic centered around Hermione Granger. They are way excited to be a C.L.I.T. Festvolunteer and workshop facilitator!

Jamie Varriale Vélez of Rock and the Single Girl is having a slight existential crisis, but is fortunately managing to power through it and stay productive. She reads about punk subculture and identity politics, and studies/writes about/occasionally plays music to keep from worrying about the future too much.

Kate Wadkins is a Brooklyn-based writer, artist, and cultural worker who believes in the political and artistic power of zines. She curated this zine reading in tandem with C.L.I.T. Fest to highlight the myriad contributions of, and the vibrant scenes created by, feminists, queers, trans, and people of color, whose voices are often minimized or erased altogether in punk scenes, narratives, and history. You can find her online at katewadkins.com. 

Each reader will have 5-7 minutes to read a piece.

You can find that on the RAC website,
along with an article of Madeleine's highlights from the show,
and a sweet hat-tip from RAC intern Erin Keane about ways to hang 3-dimensional art.

IN ZINE-ING AROUND

I am leaving momentarily to table with For the Birds Collective at the Brooklyn Zine Fest. International Girl Gang Underground is in tow!

The zine is also on display at the Essential Hues Zine Library. Essential Hues, a group show organized by Caroline Paquita at Brooklyn Wayfarers, opened Friday night. The show features work by Adee Roberson, Anna Luisa, Caitlin Sweet, Sam Lopes and the brilliant Caroline herself. It is one of my favorite things I've seen all year so I highly recommend it. Head on over, see some art and leaf through some zines. Keep your ears out for a possible reading event in conjunction with the show, which closes May 13.

VIDEO: ZINE CULTURE AT SARAH LAWRENCE

It's like our own version of LIVE! TONIGHT! SOLD OUT!!

Last Tuesday night, I rode the Metro North up to Bronxville to visit Sarah Lawrence for a zine reading hosted by Kate Angell. Kate, a frequent collaborator and friend, recently established a zine collection at my alma mater, and organized the zine reading as a celebration.

I read the introduction to International Girl Gang Underground and one of my favorite pieces from the zine by contributor Katie Crutchfield. My dear friend Cynthia took this video so I could share it with you. I intended to also read my piece "This is a Thank You Song..." but wanted to leave enough space for the other speakers.

Kate and her librarian-partner-in-crime Charlotte Price (who recently moved to the Music Library at Sarah Lawrence) made delicious baked goods, which I thought looked enticing placed next to Stephen Duncombe's Notes from Underground and Cindy Crabb's Doris collection.

ZINE READING AT SARAH LAWRENCE

Flyer by Charlotte Price

I'm excited to announce that I will be reading from International Girl Gang Underground and related materials with fellow zine author and Sarah Lawrence graduates Cynthia Schemmer and Annie Soga.

Kate Angell, advocate for feminist/queer librarianship, has recently established a zine collection at Sarah Lawrence. We'll be celebrating the collection with an inaugural zine reading, also organized by Kate, on Tuesday, February 21st:

ZINE NEWS

Since we have surpassed the end it just feels right to tell you that 2011 was a year of being totally on my hustle all the time. I'll post something about my year's highlights as well as favorite music and art picks soon, but for now here's a recap of some zine news from most recent to least.

I will be tabling at the first-ever NYC Feminist Zinefest (co-organized by Kate Angell and Elvis Bakaitis) on Saturday, February 25th, 2012 with International Girl Gang Underground and with For the Birds. The 'fest will be held at the Brooklyn Commons, 388 Atlantic Avenue (between Hoyt St. and Bond St. in Brooklyn).

The lovely and inspiring Tommy Pico interviewed me for a birdsong "Five on It" along with some super fab people, including my dear friend and collaborator Kathleen McIntyre. The interviews are printed in birdsong 16.

I also contributed to Hoax issue 5, "Feminisms and Community" about my experience organizing the IGGU zine release party in March, about community and utilizing a safer space policy.

Stay tuned for more ZINE NEWS as we plan the future of BRAIN WAVES in 2012!

AT THE BROOKLYN NIGHT BAZAAR

Hyperallergic will have a booth at this month's Brooklyn Night Bazaar, starting tonight at 5pm and going until Saturday (for more details, see this post). I just whipped up a batch of International Girl Gang Underground zines to peddle at the event! So get yr copy while it's hot. In a way, it's like my zine is opening for Fucked Up?

Note: Check out Hyperallergic's follow-up post on the Bazaar here! Can you spot IGGU?

A FOND FAREWELL: STOREFRONT

If you've been following me here, you probably know that a large portion of my life has been devoted to Bushwick's STOREFRONT gallery, which opened in January 2010. As we near two years of existence, Deborah Brown has decided to re-establish the gallery as Storefront Bushwick. Tonight is the opening of ROUND UP, STOREFRONT's final show -- so it is also our closing party.

STOREFRONT WILL CLOSE ITS DOORS

DECEMBER 18

After two fantastic years, Storefront will close its garage door with a final show featuring artists who had one-person exhibitions in the space:

Deborah Brown, Hermine Ford,

Suzanne Goldenberg, Cooper Holoweski,

Andrew Hurst, Norman Jabaut,

Mary Judge, Greg Kwiatek, Justen Ladda,

Amy Lincoln, Kevin Regan, and Austin Thomas

OPENING / CLOSING PARTY:

Friday, December 9 -- 6-9PM

Jason Andrew will continue to run his nonprofit and gallery space Norte Maar, which will also be the new home of BRAIN WAVES, the zine and print collection I established at STOREFRONT in January 2011. Celebrating a year of zines, we'll have a zine exhibit in STOREFRONT's back room for the duration of the final show, up until December 18th.

We'll be adding more details to this event listing, but here are the confirmed readers and details:

Barnard Zine Libary: http://zines.barnard.edu/
Barnard's zines are written by women (cis- and transgender) with an emphasis on zines by women of color. We collect zines on feminism and femme identity by people of all genders. The zines are personal and political publications on activism, anarchism, body image, third wave feminism, gender, parenting, queer community, riot grrrl, sexual assault, trans experience, and other topics.

FOR THE BIRDS: http://forthebirdscollective.org/
FOR THE BIRDS is a New York City-based feminist collective. We work towards establishing alternative spaces that promote the creative interests of women-identified community members. For the Birds is a collaborative group of organizers with backgrounds in feminism, social justice work, and various artistic pursuits. Through DIY feminist cultural activism, For The Birds aims to empower and support radical women of action.

POC ZINE PROJECT: https://www.facebook.com/pages/POC-Zine-Project/304152466201
We want to make it easier for POC (People of Color) zine fans and their supporters to find a diverse selection of zines made by POC. Zines are a vital component in the long tradition of self-publication. They share knowledge and experiences that supplement (and often contradict) the information that other sources distribute, encouraging free thought. There are many valuable zine collections in the United States (many accessible online) but none that are devoted to curating POC zines. POC Zine Project's mission is to makes ALL zines by POC easy to find, share, and distribute.
