Dear zinesters, creatives, weirdos, and everything in between,

Los Angeles Zine Fest is just around the corner. Mark your calendars and come celebrate the world of DIY publishing, self-expression, and independent media.

This year we’re taking over the Angel City Derby Warehouse in the Fashion District for a day dedicated to zines, creativity, and community. Los Angeles zinsters will showcase zines spanning politics, personal narratives, photography, graphic design, visual art, and more; offering inspiration, connection, and hope in a time when those things matter more than ever.

As archivist, educator, curator, self-publisher, Black Zine Fair organizer Mariame Kaba states, "hope is a discipline".
