About Asian Zine Fair (AZF):
Asian Zine Fair exists to promote the diversity of Asian creativity. Although this is changing, Asian artists in the past have experienced being lumped together as one homogenous group and discouraged from creative expression. We want to create agency for Asian artists to define their own identities, visibility, representation and encourage young artists to use zines as a viable and independent avenue for sharing their work and voice.

Our first year saw success for this small-scale operation and drew 300+ attendees!

About WAYF:
The Where Are You From? Collective (WAYF Collective) is an art-based and activism program for Asian-identified people (that includes but is not limited to Southeast Asian, South Asian, East Asians, Asian-Pacific Islander).

Our work seeks to address issues of agency that Asians living on Turtle Island experience in defining our identities, visibility, and representation by offering workshops for youth, running Arts events, and creating an online platform for self-representation.

We work from an intersectional, anti-oppression framework to empower Asians to develop critical art practices and build activist spaces that challenge dominant culture after decades of collective silence. Our mission is to celebrate Asian identities and achievements, build capacity for Asian-identified youth, and connect diasporic Asian communities so that we can create intentional dialogue that disrupts status quo.
