  • THE BLEND

    The Blend is zine (ZEEN) and is a collaborative publication that the DFA NAHS members started in 2020. It is a fun and artistic way for our members to create together and engage the community. It is filled with illustrations, current events, comics, activities, and so much more. New editions are distributed before the end of each quarter. Keep your eyes peeled and snag your copy!

    This Zine is folded paper book. By only viewing the digital Gallery, you are not getting the full effect of the Zine with these flat web images!

    What is a Zine?

    zine (pronounced ZEEN) can be many things and can take many forms. Most basically, it is a small-scale, self-published publication, similar to a magazine, which can focus on a variety of topics and include work of original or appropriated texts and images. Zines are the product of either a single person or of a very small group and are popularly photocopied into physical prints for circulation, usually reproduced via a copy machine.

    Why Zines Matter:

    Culturally and historically, zines have served as a powerful outlet for content considered to be too niche, risqué, or outside of the mainstream, in terms of more traditional/commercial forms of publication. A zine can be produced with the simplest of tools, and easily distributed low-to-the-ground, outside capitalistic or potentially oppressive systems: amongst friends; in local gathering places or homes; at fests designed to celebrate them!

    Zines provide a safe, independent platform of expression for underrepresented and marginalized voices: Black, Indigenous & People of Color, young people, people with disabilities, the LGBTQ(+) community, persecuted religious groups, and people with limited economic resources.

    Essentially, zines can be a little hard to define—but that’s what makes them great: they’re a glorious mash-up of art, letters, story, and emotion; just like the brains, hands, and hearts of those who produce them. Their small, simple format belies their unique ability to speak creatively [and loudly] for even the softest voices. (And ain’t that worth celebrating.)
