Toronto Queer Zine Fair 2014

• Location: United Steelworkers Hall
• Address: 25 Cecil St., Toronto, ON, Canada (map)
• Accessibility: Wheelchair Accessible, ASL Interpretation

The fair will take place on Saturday, October 4 at the United Steelworkers Hall, 25 Cecil Street. The zine fair will take place from 11 AM to 7 PM. In the evening there will be a zine reading from 9 to 11 PM, followed by a dance party from 11 PM to 130 AM. The TQZF, now in its second year, seeks to make space for traditionally marginalized voices in the larger zine, do it yourself and self-publishing communities. While accepting applications from all self-identified queer/trans* folks, the TQZF collective chooses to prioritize the voices of trans women, trans women of colour, queer people of colour, indigenous/two-spirited folks, and non-binary folks. The TQZF is an alternative zine fair focusing on the radical and political history/philosophy of zines and giving a platform to those often under-represented in zine culture.

Both of the events are pay what you can with a suggested donation of $5 for each event. The events are held at a barrier-free and wheelchair accessible venue. ASL interpretation services will be provided. We offer billeting for folks from out of town, a free vegan and gluten-free meal, snacks and coffee throughout the day and onsite childcare.

If you are interested in participating in this years fair, we are looking for zine tablers and volunteers.
