Black Zine Fair Returns in 2026 — Help Us Bring It to Life
The Black Zine Fair was founded by Mariame Kaba and Neta Bomani in 2023 to address a clear gap: Black publishers and artists have long shaped independent publishing, yet we were still underrepresented...

Though the Instagram post says “Black Reading Room” is up through July 14, it appears that Secret Riso Room is closed on Mondays. So today is your actual LAST CHANCE to check it out. #zines #DIY #Brooklyn #NYC

Brooklyn, NYC at the Powerhouse Arts Center. Sojourner's for Justice Press put it together @blackzinefair on ig. This is the second year i went and it was even better than the last!
Flyer for the Black Zine Fair pamphlet made using a photocopy and coloring digital print reproduction (i think?). There is a collage of historical black femmes on the cover. Next to it is a pile of small zines, with titles like "Zines for Queers" and "For those who have lived without care"

The Community Agreement for #BlackZineFair was taped at the entrances to the tabling space on the 3rd Fl at Powerhouse Arts. Like last year, Black folks were the great majority at the zine fair. Unlike last year, I didn’t have to wait in line to get in. Inside, I ran into people I knew. #zines #NYC
Printed on blue paper and taped to a concrete wall is the Community Agreement for the 2025 Black Zine Fair. The statement includes: “Wear a mask. Community health matters.” “Center Black people with intersecting oppressed identities.” “Non-Black people be mindful of your presence. Step back and make space for Black people to participate.”

#BlackZineFair was back for a 2nd year at Powerhouse Arts, 322 3rd Ave, Brooklyn. Like its 1st year in 2024, #BZF had a great turnout, good vibes and lots of zines. Also like last year, masks were required—a simple act that puts community care into practice and makes for a more inclusive event. #NYC
The 2nd annual Black Zine Fair on the 3rd floor of Powerhouse Arts, a former industrial space at 322 3rd Ave in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn. Waves of attendees, all masked, make their way amid rows of tablers, also all masked, as bright afternoon sunlight fills the vast warehouse-like room. May 3, 2025.

Just part of what I picked up at the #BlackZineFair Can’t wait to go again next year.
A series of zines laid out on a wooden table. A postcard reads “Losers attack our libraries. Fight for Librarians!” Zine titles from top left to right: “Move Slow & Break things” , “This Sh*it is outta my hands: a crip zinemaker’s journey”, “Solidarity is our history. Solidarity is our duty. Solidarity is our survival”, “Category is Black women serving communism”, “Black Joy Archive 2025”, “Louise Thompson Patterson and the first march on Washington”, “Ebony: More than a magazine”, Arrested at the library: policing the stacks”

Great #BlackZineFair 2025 keynote, featuring Jehoiada Calvin presenting on the Johnson Publishing Company Archive. (In person on May 3 at #BZF2025, Calvin and Tulani Pryor will talk more about the archive.) Forty people attended the keynote, which was recorded. Appreciated BZF's Community Agreement.
Screenshot of Black Zine Fair's Community Agreement, which says: "Center Black people with interlocking oppressed identities. Non-Black people: be mindful of your presence. Step back, listen, and make space for Black voices and participation. No oppressive behaviors, period. This includes anti-Blackness, colorism, ableism, fascism, fatphobia, transphobia, queerphobia, xenophobia, and more. Don’t be a bystander. Step in, de-escalate, support & center the most impacted. Use content warnings. Give folks a heads-up for potentially triggering material. Take accountability. Impact over intent. Learn from mistakes & stay open to feedback."
