2022 was a pivotal year for Wasted Ink Zine Distro and the Phx Zine Fest! With your generous support and involvement, we distributed over 2,500 zines, led 15 zine workshops with youth and adults, and hosted a 4-day virtual and in person Phx Zine Fest! We settled into our location at Nurture House and opened a collaborative print studio called Paper Jam + Print! We curated six art shows in Raíz Gallery, and distributed zines at the Tucson Zine Fest and Zigote Press’s Queer Print & Zine Fair. We enjoyed reading zines like “TESTIMONY Vol 1,” by Related Records, “The Sixth World Issues 1-4,” by Kayla Shaggy, and “We Are All Living in a Simulation [And That’s Ok],” by Fuzzy Cherry Zine.
We have big goals for 2023, including launching the Wasted Ink Zine Library catalog and offering printing services to WIZD zinesters. None of this would have been possible without your participation in our programming and events and for supporting our national and international distribution efforts. Thank you!
