ZINES RIGHT NOW - Panel discussion hosted by Brooklyn Public Library
New York Queer Zine Fair presents an online panel discussion about what it means to make zines in the year 2020, a time of increasing visible social inequality and state violence, global pandemic, and a deepening descent into the virtual world.
We are excited to welcome panelists, Golden Collier of Diasporan Savant Press, Camilo Godoy of Amigxs, and Brandon Dean of Southern Exposure zines. Paul Moreno, NYQZF co-founder and co-organizer, will be moderating. There will be a brief question and answer session at the end of the event.
