Zine & Spaces: A conversation about how community, zines, and memory become tools for liberation

Esta conversación explora cómo los espacios comunitarios están evolucionando para dar la bienvenida a formas alternativas de digerir, compartir y amplificar el arte — particularmente fanzines. Como un medio decolonial, los fanzines ofrecen una manera de democratizar el conocimiento, reclamar independencia creativa, y centrar la comunidad como el autor primario de cómo sus historias, su arte y su sabiduria son comunicadas.

This conversation explores how community spaces are evolving to welcome alternative forms of digesting, sharing, and amplifying art — particularly zines. As a decolonial medium, zines offer a way to democratize knowledge, reclaim creative independence, and center the community as the primary author of how its stories, art, and wisdom are communicated.

Hosting this event at Word Up Community Bookshop, a space deeply rooted in community-led storytelling and cultural exchange, is an opportunity to strengthen connections with the Dominican diaspora living beyond NYC. It allows us to continue uplifting dissident experiences and to contribute to a broader movement that is redefining how we want our knowledge, memories, and imaginations to be shared and preserved.
