Marking 10 years of living in Oakland after an upbringing in Memphis, it’s also the latest in a discography spanning more than two dozen releases, including the exhilarating EP \u003cem>For The New Moon On November 30th 2024\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=496891789/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=1794945397/transparent=true/\" seamless=\"\">\u003ca href=\"https://boredlord.bandcamp.com/album/spiritual-surveillance\">Spiritual Surveillance by Daria Lourd\u003c/a>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Lourd’s record is released by \u003ca href=\"https://coneshapetop.com/\">Cone Shape Top\u003c/a>, an Oakland storefront and distributor decidedly more renegade and grassroots than Chronicle Books, and which reflects the underground with a passionate, robust spirit.

Marking 10 years of living in Oakland after an upbringing in Memphis, it’s also the latest in a discography spanning more than two dozen releases, including the exhilarating EP \u003cem>For The New Moon On November 30th 2024\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=496891789/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=1794945397/transparent=true/\" seamless=\"\">\u003ca href=\"https://boredlord.bandcamp.com/album/spiritual-surveillance\">Spiritual Surveillance by Daria Lourd\u003c/a>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Lourd’s record is released by \u003ca href=\"https://coneshapetop.com/\">Cone Shape Top\u003c/a>, an Oakland storefront and distributor decidedly more renegade and grassroots than Chronicle Books, and which reflects the underground with a passionate, robust spirit. Of the Bay Area’s legacy of similar collectives, radio stations and DIY spaces, Lourd once \u003ca href=\"https://whitecrate.org/in-the-bay-its-up-to-people-who-really-care-interview-with-daria-lourd-aka-bored-lord/\">told an interviewer\u003c/a> that “no matter how hard people try to change that, it always lives on in between the cracks.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>For a glimpse into those exciting, active cracks, the SF Art Book Fair is a sterling place to start.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003chr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>A signing and launch of ‘It Will Be More Beautiful Than You Could Ever Imagine’ takes place during the SF Art Book Fair, each day from Friday–Sunday, from 12 p.m.–2 p.m. A record-release performance for ‘Spiritual Surveillance’ takes place Saturday, July 25, from 7–10 p.m. Both events are held in the warehouse at 1201 Minnesota Street, San Francisco. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Heartbreak, giddiness, despair and hope all leap off the page, despite the book’s black-and-white format and casual illustration style.

The importance of offering grace to those around us, even when they don’t always deserve it. Giving grace to ourselves when we’re in the process of healing. And the deep and lasting difference grace can make when we’re on the receiving end of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We All Got Something\u003c/em> walks us through Lindell’s recovery process after a series of terrible events befell him: a painful breakup, a random act of violence, a failed attempt to relocate overseas. The story begins with his struggle to get back in step with his old life in Compton — with his art, his music, his family and his own mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times, Lindell’s sense of isolation is so palpable, the pages with zero dialogue feel louder and more claustrophobic than those with words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13974671\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13974671\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/04/brotha-lawrence-scaled-e1744762432528.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white comic book panels convey a young man's embarassment at being called on in church by his pastor, while the congregation watches on.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1188\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A moment of creeping self-consciousness in ‘We All Got Something’ by Lawrence Lindell. \u003ccite>(Drawn & Quarterly)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In this, Lindell’s second graphic novel for Canadian comic company \u003ca href=\"https://drawnandquarterly.com/\">Drawn & Quarterly\u003c/a>, the now–San Francisco-based cartoonist has crafted a story that consistently succeeds in stirring big emotions. Heartbreak, giddiness, despair and hope all leap off the page, despite the book’s black-and-white format and casual illustration style. In Lindell’s hands, even the simplest of illustrated text exchanges can convey a gut punch. That’s a testament to how effectively he imbues his work with vulnerability and honesty — even when doing so doesn’t present himself in the most flattering light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Books! Zines! Hordes of people! Thursday night saw the opening of the \u003ca href=\"https://sfartbookfair.com/\">SF Art Book Fair\u003c/a>, as much a delight to small-press aficionados as a nightmare for claustrophobics. I can confirm: it was shoulder-to-shoulder \u003cem>packed\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its seventh year, the fair held at the Minnesota Street Art Project in San Francisco’s Dogpatch district is more popular than ever, underscored by the addition of a second exhibition building (the former McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, up the street).

Each new rabbit hole resulted in an issue of \u003cem>Emeryville C☺☺L Fun Facts\u003c/em>, a monthly one-page newsletter covering Emeryville’s canneries, labor strikes, 1980s punk scene, public art, streetcar lines and more. With a Risograph printer at home and a pandemic yearning to return to more human ways of connecting, she stapled her insightful, chatty and often hilarious newsletters to poles all around town, adding a phone number at the bottom. \u003cem>Emeryville Cool Fun Booklet\u003c/em> compiles all nine issues, along with responses from readers who called the number.

On June 2, Oakland Public Library hosts a reading and announcement of this year’s 12th Oakland Youth Poet Laureate and Vice Youth Poet Laureate, selected from a group of seven finalists that includes Aniylah (Niy) Dixon, Ella Gordon, Isabel Park, Maya Raveneau-Bey, Michelle Vong, Nairobi Barnes and Serafina Mackintosh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each of these writers has already developed a distinct voice and unique delivery.

They don’t have to be notable public figures, nor do their recollections need to be magnificent or fanciful for me to be invested — I’m just entranced by people being people, navigating their doubts and fears as they search for their own versions of peace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I first read Sonoma County cartoonist Julia Wertz’s comics, I immediately fell in love with her storytelling. Wertz has an illustrative style that is cute, simple and detailed; a witty and reflective approach to dialogue and narrative; and an openness that is intimate and relatable. In her latest book, \u003cem>Impossible People\u003c/em>, she details her five-year sobriety journey in all its chaos. Digging into stories of group therapy sessions, relapses, relationship troubles, an eviction and other trials, she tells the story of how she succeeded, failed and picked herself back up throughout her recovery process. Reflective and honest, Wertz’s take on recovery is filled with ups, downs and unexpected turns. Through each winding revelation, she comes to see herself in a new light — one that forces her to care more deeply for herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13929403\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13929403\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-800x824.png\" alt=\"a young Asian woman poses behind a table full of zines and stickers and tshirts at a book fair\" width=\"800\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-800x824.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-1020x1051.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-160x165.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-768x791.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10.png 1246w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Local illustrator HAETAE will be tabling at the San Jose Art, Zine & Book Fair. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artit)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.empiresevenstudios.com/sj-art-zine-book-fair\">San Jose Art, Zine & Book Fair\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Japantown, San Jose\u003cbr>\nJune 10–11\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A newer addition to the local DIY arts scene, this two-day event is organized by art gallery \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/empire7studios/\">Empire Seven Studios\u003c/a> and community arts organization \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sj.makers/\">SJ Makers\u003c/a>.

In her latest book, \u003cem>Impossible People\u003c/em>, she details her five-year sobriety journey in all its chaos. Digging into stories of group therapy sessions, relapses, relationship troubles, an eviction and other trials, she tells the story of how she succeeded, failed and picked herself back up throughout her recovery process. Reflective and honest, Wertz’s take on recovery is filled with ups, downs and unexpected turns. Through each winding revelation, she comes to see herself in a new light — one that forces her to care more deeply for herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13929403\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13929403\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-800x824.png\" alt=\"a young Asian woman poses behind a table full of zines and stickers and tshirts at a book fair\" width=\"800\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-800x824.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-1020x1051.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-160x165.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10-768x791.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/image10.png 1246w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Local illustrator HAETAE will be tabling at the San Jose Art, Zine & Book Fair. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artit)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.empiresevenstudios.com/sj-art-zine-book-fair\">San Jose Art, Zine & Book Fair\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Japantown, San Jose\u003cbr>\nJune 10–11\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A newer addition to the local DIY arts scene, this two-day event is organized by art gallery \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/empire7studios/\">Empire Seven Studios\u003c/a> and community arts organization \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sj.makers/\">SJ Makers\u003c/a>.

Drawn from Kuo’s own life, the book is a tribute to the author’s experience immigrating to the U.S. and her subsequent explorations of identity, language, family and the concept of the American Dream. The novel is a sequel to Kuo’s first book, \u003cem>In the Beautiful Country\u003c/em>, and similarly explores the lesser-told coming-of-age narrative of a young Taiwanese immigrant.

There’s a rush of adrenaline as creators and readers meet over folding tables and chat about their nerdiest passions. Once an artist parts ways with a zine, they go home with the satisfaction of knowing that in the corner of someone’s room exists a small, tangible piece of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareaqueerzinefest.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BAQZF returns Nov. 12-19 \u003c/a>with its first array of in-person programming since the pandemic started. For organizers, this year is about continuing to amplify queer and trans artists of color while uplifting a younger generation of zine makers. As more young people get acquainted with this long-standing medium, the punks who are now grown up are leading an effort to support, mentor and learn from these new voices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historians trace zines back to 1930, and the artform expanded greatly in the 1990s with an explosion of feminist, punk, political and queer D.I.Y. publications. Unbound by the pressures of commercial publishing, zine makers documented and printed their thoughts on their own terms. Zine fests where creators could meet and sell art became more popular over the years, but artist \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/lngrmstplr/\">Maira McDermott\u003c/a> yearned for an event made for and by queer people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, McDermott founded the Bay Area Queer Zine Fest, which debuted at Oakland’s East Bay Community Space. The 40 participating artists’ work covered topics like mixed-race identity, gender, sexuality and mental health. Alien and star balloons decorated the intimate venue, and artists beamed as people approached their tables to ask about their creations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traction for the fest grew over the next three years, but the pandemic forced BAQZF organizers to pivot online in 2021. This year, the organizing committee decided to keep some virtual components to allow for greater accessibility for people with disabilities. They also expanded the fest to include an in-person zine swap and reading at\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/crisisclubgallery/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Crisis Club Gallery\u003c/a> on Nov. 12 and 13, as well as a youth zine workshop on Saturday Nov. 19 at \u003ca href=\"https://www.rpscollective.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rock Paper Scissors Collective\u003c/a>. In addition, there will be a virtual panel on zine politics, the date of which hasn’t yet been announced, and “virtual tabling” all week with artists’ shop links and bios.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel and youth zine workshop are new introductions to the fest. BAQZF organizer \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/prima.verde/\">L. Herrada-Rios\u003c/a>, who is in their 30s, says that the event’s mission quickly grew beyond connecting with their peers. “As time has gone on, I see this as something really important for younger people, especially in a time when queer and trans identities are being targeted,” says the artist. [pullquote size='medium' align='right]A zine holds specific moments — exhalations, stray thoughts and cathartic declarations — and preserves them into small, readable capsules.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The youth workshop will be facilitated by organizer \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/radbreath/\">Niko Nada\u003c/a>, who led their first youth zine workshop by accident. “I’m pretty sure it was just at one of the fests I was tabling,” says Nada. “And I sat in the kids’ corner because they had all the crayons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nada grew up in Redwood City, where they often felt out of place for being “too weird or too queer or too Brown in certain settings.” In the 2000s, Nada befriended pen pals on MySpace, exchanging letters and small handmade books. When they realized there was a word for what they were doing — zine making — they felt like they had entered an underground “secret circle” that granted them the sense of belonging they’d been craving. Now, Nada is passionate about recreating that feeling for younger artists and facilitating spaces where teenagers can be messy and expressive without judgment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s weirdo kids everywhere, you know?” says Nada. “And some of them are in environments that uplift them and some of them are not. And I just want to know that I’ve put my energy towards making it a little easier for them to find a safe space and figure their shit out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During these workshops, Nada provides attendees with paper, pencils, stamps and stickers, and walks them through putting together a mini eight-fold zine. But beyond that, there is no instruction or lecturing. “I am in no way telling people that I know the type of art that needs to be in the world,” says Nada. “I just want to remind people that they’re capable of making art and that it can be in the world if they want it to be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxIHRnJDEr/?hl=en\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]Z[/dropcap]ines unlocked a sense of freedom and possibility for high school student Kavya Jolly. At 16 years old, he is the youngest BAQZF organizer, a role he says alleviates his stress from homework, AP classes, extracurriculars and the SAT. His brows unfurl and his expression relaxes when he discusses his first zine, a biting political satire on communism written in bright red ink that he made during a workshop hosted by McDermott and Nada earlier in the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Living in the quiet suburbs of Fremont, Jolly normally finds it difficult to connect with peers over the things he cares about: his queerness, radical politics, zine making and art. When he first met Nada and McDermott, he was awestruck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, ‘Oh my God, these people are so cool,’” Jolly gushes. “I wanted to be them. I think they’re both just really great representations of how zine culture really stresses being your authentic self, and doing what you want to do, and pursuing what you want to pursue.” To Jolly, the two provided more than a creative outlet — they embodied a future that was colorful, alternative and openly queer, something that Jolly aspires to but finds difficult to embrace in his current situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guess my authentic self would be someone who just kind of does whatever they want — which is really hard when you’re 16,” says Jolly. “I’m really excited to be able to hopefully find a community of other people [at the Bay Area Queer Zine Fest] that are like me and who want to talk about things that are usually frowned upon or want to pursue things that are usually discouraged in society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13921431\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13921431\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/Mari%CC%81a-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-800x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-800x576.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-1020x735.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-160x115.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-768x553.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image.png 1508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artist María Valle works on a new print. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Similarly, zine making helped artist \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/stargirlsanctuary/\">María Valle\u003c/a> explore their emerging queerness. After graduating high school during the pandemic, Valle felt stuck: Drawing was once expansive and free-flowing, but they struggled to put anything down on the page. Slowly, they began to express their conflicted feelings about their identity through sculpting, painting and zines. “I think that I’m no longer scared to make art that is messy or that appears ugly, because so much of queer art tends to be like that — and that can be really powerful,” says Valle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Valle joined the \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/queerancestorsproject/\">Queer Ancestors Project\u003c/a>, an organization dedicated to providing young queer artists with free printmaking workshops, community building and resources about queer history. Valle will represent Queer Ancestors Project at BAQZF, sharing zines that incorporate some of their recent prints. Their work often includes flower and star motifs, symbolizing new pathways that form in the interconnectedness between queer individuals and their ancestors. In a panel discussion on the politics of zine making, they will also discuss the art form’s rich history and persistent punk essence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]L[/dropcap]ike Jolly and Valle, cartoonist and BAQZF tabler \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/nuthingoodat4/\">Avy Jetter\u003c/a> searches for authenticity, vulnerability and representation through her own creativity. Some of her recent zines have covered her journey with grief and the toll that racial microaggressions have had on her health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She studied painting at California College of the Arts in the ’80s but didn’t get into comic book making until a decade ago, when she was in her 40s. In 2012, Jetter created the horror comic \u003ca href=\"https://nuthingoodat4.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Nuthin’ Good Ever Happens at 4 a.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/a> featuring an all Black and brown cast. The story is centered in Oakland, with characters that resemble Jetter’s childhood friends and settings adapted from her observations of the city. She stresses the importance of creating visibility around narratives like her own — even in stories that are bizarre, fictional and seemingly out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If your future dystopian world doesn’t include any Black people, Brown people, Asian people, disabled people — is that a world you want to live in in the future?” says Jetter. “I always think our art reflects our life. How do people see themselves in the movies you make, the stories you tell? We all should have our voices heard. We have to tell our own stories, because who else will?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, she began making personal zines that brought her own story and reflections on race, loss and mental health to the forefront. Prior to this, she’d had no interest in being so personal in her work. She was comfortable in the dark, gory landscapes of her comic. But after losing two of her brothers during the pandemic, she turned towards zine making to process her grief and share those difficult emotions with the hope that others could find compassion for themselves in their own lives. [aside postid='arts_13921336']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Art sustains me. It heals me,” says Jetter. “It helps me grow as a person and understand stuff outside of art.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This ability to process, reframe and ponder complicated subjects through art is not dissimilar to the way Jolly thinks about his trans identity and politics through satirical commentary, or the way that Valle communicates their coming out process through environmental printmaking. Though their styles and levels of experience are varied, each artist’s work contributes to a zine archive that is expanding with each generation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can learn from someone who is doing what you’re doing,” Jetter says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13921432\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 466px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13921432\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/img169.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"466\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/img169.jpeg 466w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/img169-160x220.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A portrait by Avy Jetter. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, a zine holds specific moments — exhalations, stray thoughts and cathartic declarations — and preserves them into small, readable capsules. Describing zines as “blips in time” and “bookmarks” of their life, Nada champions the zine as an ever evolving entity. It’s a practice and a medium, comfort and reclamation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no reason that zines will ever fall out of fashion, you know? It’s not a trend,” Nada says. “You can make a zine about pit stops to take on your road trips, you can make a zine about food recipes. It encompasses everything but at the same time, is so simple, so direct. It existed before me and it’ll exist after me, and I appreciate that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cem>The Bay Area Queer Zine Fest takes place Nov. 12-19, kicking off with a zine swap on Saturday Nov. 12 at the Crisis Club Gallery in Oakland.

When they realized there was a word for what they were doing — zine making — they felt like they had entered an underground “secret circle” that granted them the sense of belonging they’d been craving. Now, Nada is passionate about recreating that feeling for younger artists and facilitating spaces where teenagers can be messy and expressive without judgment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s weirdo kids everywhere, you know?” says Nada. “And some of them are in environments that uplift them and some of them are not. And I just want to know that I’ve put my energy towards making it a little easier for them to find a safe space and figure their shit out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During these workshops, Nada provides attendees with paper, pencils, stamps and stickers, and walks them through putting together a mini eight-fold zine. But beyond that, there is no instruction or lecturing. “I am in no way telling people that I know the type of art that needs to be in the world,” says Nada. “I just want to remind people that they’re capable of making art and that it can be in the world if they want it to be.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At 16 years old, he is the youngest BAQZF organizer, a role he says alleviates his stress from homework, AP classes, extracurriculars and the SAT. His brows unfurl and his expression relaxes when he discusses his first zine, a biting political satire on communism written in bright red ink that he made during a workshop hosted by McDermott and Nada earlier in the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Living in the quiet suburbs of Fremont, Jolly normally finds it difficult to connect with peers over the things he cares about: his queerness, radical politics, zine making and art. When he first met Nada and McDermott, he was awestruck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, ‘Oh my God, these people are so cool,’” Jolly gushes. “I wanted to be them. I think they’re both just really great representations of how zine culture really stresses being your authentic self, and doing what you want to do, and pursuing what you want to pursue.” To Jolly, the two provided more than a creative outlet — they embodied a future that was colorful, alternative and openly queer, something that Jolly aspires to but finds difficult to embrace in his current situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guess my authentic self would be someone who just kind of does whatever they want — which is really hard when you’re 16,” says Jolly. “I’m really excited to be able to hopefully find a community of other people [at the Bay Area Queer Zine Fest] that are like me and who want to talk about things that are usually frowned upon or want to pursue things that are usually discouraged in society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13921431\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13921431\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/Mari%CC%81a-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-800x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-800x576.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-1020x735.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-160x115.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image-768x553.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/María-Queer-Ancestors-Project-image.png 1508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artist María Valle works on a new print. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Similarly, zine making helped artist \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/stargirlsanctuary/\">María Valle\u003c/a> explore their emerging queerness. After graduating high school during the pandemic, Valle felt stuck: Drawing was once expansive and free-flowing, but they struggled to put anything down on the page. Slowly, they began to express their conflicted feelings about their identity through sculpting, painting and zines. “I think that I’m no longer scared to make art that is messy or that appears ugly, because so much of queer art tends to be like that — and that can be really powerful,” says Valle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Valle joined the \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/queerancestorsproject/\">Queer Ancestors Project\u003c/a>, an organization dedicated to providing young queer artists with free printmaking workshops, community building and resources about queer history. Valle will represent Queer Ancestors Project at BAQZF, sharing zines that incorporate some of their recent prints. Their work often includes flower and star motifs, symbolizing new pathways that form in the interconnectedness between queer individuals and their ancestors. In a panel discussion on the politics of zine making, they will also discuss the art form’s rich history and persistent punk essence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">L\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>ike Jolly and Valle, cartoonist and BAQZF tabler \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/nuthingoodat4/\">Avy Jetter\u003c/a> searches for authenticity, vulnerability and representation through her own creativity. Some of her recent zines have covered her journey with grief and the toll that racial microaggressions have had on her health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She studied painting at California College of the Arts in the ’80s but didn’t get into comic book making until a decade ago, when she was in her 40s. In 2012, Jetter created the horror comic \u003ca href=\"https://nuthingoodat4.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Nuthin’ Good Ever Happens at 4 a.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/a> featuring an all Black and brown cast. The story is centered in Oakland, with characters that resemble Jetter’s childhood friends and settings adapted from her observations of the city. She stresses the importance of creating visibility around narratives like her own — even in stories that are bizarre, fictional and seemingly out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If your future dystopian world doesn’t include any Black people, Brown people, Asian people, disabled people — is that a world you want to live in in the future?” says Jetter. “I always think our art reflects our life. How do people see themselves in the movies you make, the stories you tell? We all should have our voices heard. We have to tell our own stories, because who else will?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, she began making personal zines that brought her own story and reflections on race, loss and mental health to the forefront. Prior to this, she’d had no interest in being so personal in her work. She was comfortable in the dark, gory landscapes of her comic. But after losing two of her brothers during the pandemic, she turned towards zine making to process her grief and share those difficult emotions with the hope that others could find compassion for themselves in their own lives. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
