Check It Out: Girls Will Be Grrrls (Issue #1)

By @jennarenegade and distributed by @aliasaint.zines Girls Will Be Grrrls is a riot grrrl resurgence zine on feminism, growing up gay, the requirement of sex ed in schools, chat room beginnings, a potentially controversial grad thesis, childhood heroines, and the disappearance of butch/masc lesbians.

It’s a text-heavy lit zine, for those who are down for a good Fall/Winter read. This one is set to be a series of zines, with more to come! Not sure on quite how often yet, but either seasonally or monthly. It’s 36pgs, quarter-sized, stapled. And the center pages offer a cute mini-poster, reminiscent of the pull-out posters in kids mags of the 80s & 90s.

Event Date: November 9-17, 2024
Event Location: Online

Spotlighting the work of diverse queer creators from around the world. Featuring virtual tablers, presentations, workshops, and meetups on zines, queer issues, and DIY culture!

This November, around the world, LGBTQ+ zine makers and fans will gather at
the Queer Zest Zine Fest — a two-day all-virtual zine fest accessible to anyone with an internet connection. This will allow folks around the world to meet and exchange ideas where physical limitations would restrict access to these spaces.

It will be a place where queer zine makers and queer zine fans can gather to celebrate zines, queer community, and share stories.

The Queer Zest Zine Fest organizers are a coalition of like-minded queer zinesters with a host of event planning experience under their belts. The organizer team met online in queer zine scenes and decided to join together to make this event a reality!

The fest will highlight the work of diverse queer creators from around the world.
