Venom Zine Library at OFF-Biennale Venom Zine Library is a Copenhagen-based DIY BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) and queer zine library and platform for discovering self-published zines. Maya Acharya and Janna Aldaraji created the collection with the intention of making zines accessible to all and sharing resources on zine-making. Their aim is to introduce the activist, self-organising and academic communities to self-publishing as a powerful tool.
Curator Borbála Soós, in collaboration with the ISBN+ team, has selected additional publications with the aim of presenting Venom’s collection in the context of the OFF-Biennale in Budapest, Hungary and Eastern Europe. Also to draw attention to grassroots initiatives and their struggles that represent marginalised and sometimes intertwined perspectives, including anti-fascist, feminist, disabled, queer and Roma.
