Official press release: ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Hosted at YBCA, the Anti-Fascist Zine Fair will be a gathering of the underground press from the Bay Area and beyond.
Organized by long-time print organizer Floyd Tangeman and artist Barry McGee as part of Bay Area Then, this all-day event will feature tables from independent publishers, radical newspapers, print collectives, and local comics studios, including Street Salad Books, Slingshot Collective, Silver Sprocket, and Barry McGee Studio.
In the words of the organizers, the event is a “reminder that print media does in fact serve as the ultimate key for liberation” and “the Print object stands as the epitomal symbol against dogma.”
The fair is one of many events nationwide taking place under the umbrella of Fall of Freedom, a collaborative, artist-led initiative co-founded by visual artist Dread Scott. The initiative mobilizes artists and cultural institutions in defense of democracy, free expression, and collective freedom.
YBCA is pleased to participate in the Fall of Freedom and support the Anti-Fascist Zine Fair, as part of our mission to support artists, arts communities, and free expression.
Participants include: Street Salad Books; RE/Search Publications; Slingshot Collective; Manic D Press; Deadcrow World Media Group; Silver Sprocket; A.B.O. Comics; The Big Door Collective; Barry McGee Studio; Thruline Magazine; Red Apple Comics; Trickshot Magazine; Mission Mini Comics; Later Dudes; Planet Plasmo, and more.

💙🩷 🤍 Reminder! A Self-Defense Study Guide for Trans Women and Other People Affected by Transmisogyny zine is free for anyone who needs it, both online and in print (just e-mail us about your project to request copies) !!! 🤍🩷💙
This guide offers real, practical strategies drawn from lived experience, ranging from reading body language and building safety in numbers, to learning a few Jiu-Jitsu moves and knowing how to handle people who hold legal, financial, or social power over you.
It also covers how to navigate boundary-crossers, bullies, and how to pause a make-out session because self-defense isn’t just about fighting back, it’s about staying alive and caring for each other in a world that too often targets trans women and others affected by transmisogyny.
🧷 This zine is one small resource to help expand your toolkit and keep on living in this world.
🩷 Free to read or download on our website or at bindings.app/read/rIwJtJau

❄️💙 Happy Bookiversary to SNOWBIRD by Eren K. Wilson @erenkwilson! 💙❄️
In this magical realist graphic memoir, Eren navigates personal and environmental collapse, racial inequality and internalized racism, and living with their mental health. It asks and answers the question: what would we do if we could counsel our younger self? 🤔
🔥 SNOWBIRD is about self-compassion and the complicated work of trying to save the world while saving yourself. A thought that feels just as relevant now as it did then, especially looking at the state of the world today. 😮💨
