July 2024 Mid-Year Report

7/18/2024

0 Comments

 
A look back at our six months of programming, distribution, printing, and publishing in 2024!
A note from Charissa
Thank you for supporting Wasted Ink in 2024! We've been happily busy providing workshops and programming, and printing and distributing zines in our new studio. Comparing the first two quarters of 2024 to 2023, we have increased our zine programming by 66% and more than doubled our unique participants bringing the total over 1,700. We've continued to steadily increase our zine distribution numbers year-over-year and have so far distributed over 1,600 zines this year. We've more than quadrupled our zine printing in the first six months of 2024 and have printed almost 4,000 zines! 
We've attended great events like the Northern Arizona Book Festival, Association of Writers and Writers Programs Conference (AWP), Tucson Zine Fest, LA Zine Fest, and the Zine Pavilion at the American Library Association Conference (ALA).
Our Fall calendar is filling up with events and activities so be sure to schedule a zine workshop now for Fall and Spring. Thank you for your continued support and community care!

​

💥Check out Bed Zine's Issue 2 containing art and writing by disabled creatives from around the world about their relationships with their beds.

💥Check out Riot and Roux's Issue 4 on how LAND is central to food, power, and social change.

💥Check out Mi Casita Press' "Payasa Vol. 1," by Reyes, a series that visualizes artist Reyes' alter egos. Each look has a take on their view of gender, make up, fashion and body.

💥 Check out Alex Sodari's "La Vida / De Noche," a flip zine with illustrations on both sides.

💥Check out "The Ocular Adventures of San Saguaro: Vol I" by Jay Armenta, a photo zine shot on black & white 35mm film of a visual adventure of the Sonoran Desert with the ingenious Saguaro Saint.
