The 10th NYQZF is in the books! Held again at The Center in the West Village, a bunch of tenacious crafty queers crammed in some much needed zine time and camaraderie on September 21st! This year’s fair was organized by Paul Moreno, one of the founders of NYQZF, and Kel Karpinski, zine artist and librarian/researcher.
Much appreciation and love to everyone who stopped by to show love, snag zines, learn more about writing to incarcerated queer and trans sex working people in our pen pal workshop and vent sesh. We also want to share deep gratitude to SWOP Behind Bars for sending us the contact info for more comrades inside. Even though we didn’t reach our ultimate fundraising goal, our hearts are still pretty damn full!
Shout out to the best tablemates and table neighbors @transjoyrevolution & @janetandfriends_jaf 💋
We also debuted our Support Ho(s)e YEAR EIGHT zine—which felt particularly momentous! We can’t believe we’re in Year 9 currently–what a beautiful, messy, wild ride it’s been organizing together thus far.
