Sojourners for Justice Press Presents: The Black Zine Fair

The Black Zine Fair is a celebration of all things Black and independent publishing in New York City!
About this Event

The Black Zine Fair is a celebration of all things Black and independent publishing in New York City! We invite Black exhibitors and educators to gather, trade or sell zines, and exchange knowledge surrounding zine-making, publishing, and do-it-yourself culture. This event is FREE and open to the public, though donations are appreciated. Want to learn more? Check out our website and our instagram.

The Black Zine Fair is organized by Sojourners for Justice Press.

Thank you to our co-sponsor: The Free Black Women's Library

Safety precautions for airborne viruses

The Black Zine Fair is a mask-on space. All event attendees, exhibitors, workshop facilitators, and staff are expected to wear a high quality KN95 or N95 mask at all times inside the venue to protect each other from airborne viruses. Masks will be provided. We expect you to test regularly/serially leading up until the event. If you test positive or have any symptoms, we ask that you refrain from attending the fair.

Before registering, please review the

The community agreement for the Black Zine Fair (BZF) is a statement of our principles and a guideline for the space we co-create together. The community agreement isn’t a punitive agreement. As abolitionists who believe in transformative justice, we don’t intend to perpetuate community spaces that mimic carceral responses to conflict and harm.

Accessibility

Powerhouse Arts, the venue where the Black Zine Fair takes place, is fully accessible for wheelchair users. Restrooms are gender neutral and ADA compliant. A sound-proof quiet room is available.

Would you like to to support the Black Zine Fair?

We suggest a donation between $5-15 depending on your financial ability. We encourage established professionals and people with intergenerational wealth/savings to consider donating more.
The Black Zine Fair is organized by Sojourners for Justice Press co-directors Neta Bomani and Mariame Kaba. We’re committed to creating a free platform for Black zine makers who otherwise wouldn’t have access to zine/art/book fairs and festivals. We rely primarily on individual donors to fund and sustain our work. Thank you!
