Mixed Rice Zines

a small diy press run by artist J Wu, featuring a mixture of voices in celebrating QTBIPOC resilience. Their zines invite queer and trans artists of color to send in writing, photography, comics, poetry, interviews, illustration and more :-) Submissions are currently open for Queering Friendships Zine #3!
