The Bristol Antifascist Zine is now out and available to read and download on our website 🔗
Print copies will be available soon! 📖

Featuring poetry, art, insights and music from those engaged in antifascist struggles and organising.

Note – much of this zine was written at end of 2024 and early part of 2025 so may not reflect recent developments.

“Black Weirdos” from the first issue of #ShotgunSeamstress zine (2006) featuring #FlorynceKennedy and #SunRa.

20 years ago it felt necessary to assert our right as Black people to express ourselves freely without our racial identity being called into question. (In other words, other Black people might say you were “acting white” if you exhibited any behaviors outside of what was considered the norm for Black people, including listening to rock music.)

While so many social issues remain the same or have even worsened since then, I’m glad to say that I’ve seen improvement in this area over the last couple of decades. If you dare to call a Black punk rock, book smart, awkward, nerdy anime loving gamer “white” you just look like an ignorant dumbass at this point.

Au detour de la derniére publication de @from_Otterspace sur son blog caché, j'ai pu découvrir une initiative exceptionnelle, Craftopi.art, un Zine portant la contre-culture (Art et Anarchie). Grace à lui, nous assistons, j'en suis sûr, à la renaissance des E-Zines, tel un acte de résistance à la folie ambiante.
Celui de Juillet est sortie, laissez-le vous accompagner en ces temps estivaux:

N'esitez pas à partager cette bouffée d'oxygene, cet îlot de liberté...
