Episode 8 – Zine Fest Houston, the Queens of DIY

The Gallery Podcast finally kicks off season two with the exceptional Queens of DIY from Zine Fest Houston. Stacy Kirages, Maria Heg, Evan McCarley, and Sarah Welch joined us on the eve of Zine Fest Houston 2017 to give us a glimpse into their grassroots efforts to promote regional zines, mini-comics, and other forms of small press, alternative, and underground DIY media and art.

On this episode, the five of us discussed what it’s like to be at the forefront of a festival that embraces Houston’s diverse landscape, how the profile of a city affects the themes of zines, the inception of Zine Fest Houston, inspiring others to start creating their own zines, and as always, many more sweet tidbits.

Keep your eyes peeled and visit www.zinefesthouston.org or the Zine Fest Houston Facebook page for more information about their upcoming 2018 Zine Fest Houston event.
