Black Zine Fair: Detroit

  • Bulk Space 2857 East Grand Boulevard Detroit, MI, 48202 United States (map)

Mini Black Zine Fair – Detroit is here!

This Black August, Midnight Care Collective and Sojourners for Justice Press are bringing the Black Zine Fair to Detroit for the first time grounded in the abolitionist tradition and held in deep care.

Mini BZF Detroit is a knowledge exchange—a passing of the torch to a sibling press in a sibling city. Honoring Detroit’s publishing legacy, from Broadside Lotus Press to the visionary work of Black Salt Press, the fair gathers Black zine-makers and independent publishers committed to telling our stories on our own terms.
