Oakland, CA– Bay Area Queer Zine Fest is pleased to announce its return for the 7th annual in-person event plus a week-long virtual fest for 2024. This year’s hybrid event will host online vendors on the BAQZF website from September 2nd through September 9th, coinciding with an in-person event Sunday, September 8th featuring local and national exhibitors at new downtown Oakland venue space Scene, located at 274 12th St, from 11 AM to 5 PM.
For 2024, BAQZF has chosen the theme of “luck” to embody this year’s festivities; as part of a dynamic and spirited queer DIY community that brings together LGBTQIA+ creatives from all over the Bay Area and beyond, BAQZF feels immense gratitude for the good fortune to be able to bring our 7th event to fruition.
The spirit of independent publishing and DIY art connects and amplifies the narratives of and created by queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, people of color, femmes, disabled and immunocompromised community members, and other marginalized groups that are silenced by prejudice, ableism, and the status quo. In its 7th year, BAQZF is proud to bring another inclusive, community-oriented event celebrating contemporary LGBTQIA+ voices in visual and literary arts, comics, and independent publishing to Scene, occupying space as a means to galvanize peers and aspiring zinesters alike to create a world reflective of themselves.
The fest’s Safer Spaces Policy may be viewed on its website, revised June 2024: bayareaqueerzinefest.com
More information including official flyer and confirmed exhibitors are to be announced soon.
Bay Area Queer Zine Fest is free and open to the public. Masks and social distancing will be enforced throughout the in-person event and an archive will be available on bayareaqueerzinefest.com after September 9th. For
