Dyke Affair Issue 02 Launch

This is a free event but we'd be grateful if you can RSVP : ) The evening will be a chance to celebrate the latest issue, as well as Issue 01, both of which are stocked at TLP. We’ll have wine and juice, and some contributors from both issues reading their work, including poetry, essays and fiction.

Following the launch, we'll head to The Black Sheep on Capel Street from 6.30pm for a collage/zine workshop led by Hana Flamm, to mark World Collage Day (tickets available for this event separately on our Eventbrite).

Dyke Affair was formed in January 2025, at a time when far-right ideologies are gaining ground and queer people are increasingly targeted around the world. DIY queer publishing that’s passed from hand to hand, friend to friend, and lover to lover, is more important than ever, as a tool of resistance and celebration of our lives and voices.

Dyke Affair’s editors are based in Dublin, Paris and Lisbon, though they publish work by dykes all over the world. So far, they have published two issues of Dyke Affair, as well as a poetry pamphlet, allowing them to donate funds to queer mutual aid (so far The Small Trans Library, Visual AIDS, individual transition funds on GoFundMe).
