Episode 191 - Keeping the root of Zines with accessibility Feat Charissa Lucille (Wasted ink)

Yelling at concrete

This week I get further Zine focused as i get to sit down with Zine distro owner and founder of Phoenix zine fest Charissa Lucille. Charissa runs a zine distro in a physical location in Arizona a place which acts as a community space with the focus of being accessible and uplifting for the QTBIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled and chronically ill, neurodivergent within the area and farther afield!

Charissa is an multimedia artist in their own right and setup Wasted Ink to fill a gap in the area which needed a cathartic and safe outlet for these communities. We obviously talk about our passions for Zines and how we ended up in the medium but also about the importance of keeping Zines accessible and how that is the route idea of the publications and how when you divert from that you lose some of the magic of the idea!
