Monkey Wrench Radical Zine Fest Success
Appreciation to everyone who attended the second ever Monkey Wrench Radical Zine Fest earlier this month! We had an awesome turn-out. I didn’t take many pictures because I was too busy having rad conversations and sharing work made by real humans—no AI in sight! It was an honor to have co-organized the event with Nico // Sly Badges Infoshop and Johnny // Clear Truth Press. Big thanks to my fav human, Mark, for helping us set up the space!
Johnny created this list of resources for community self-defense, basic needs, solidarity, creative caretaking, and organizing in Indianapolis. He’s soon to make it into a zine format, so keep your eyes out for that.
Indy BIG GAY Market 2026 🌈
Saturday May 30th (and Sunday, May 31st) // 11AM-3PM
Time to kick off Pride downtown this weekend! Featuring 100+ LGBTQ+ vendors and makers over a two-day event, this is the perfect time to go support local queer creators.
Indy Gay Market is such a gem of an organization in the Midwest. I am inspired every time they put on an event because it’s a community amplifying one another.
See you on Saturday!
South Bend Zine Fest 2026
Saturday, June 13th // 1PM-6PM
The second ever South Bend Zine Fest is happening June 13th! Last year’s was one of the best attended zine festivals I’ve ever tabled at. The event takes place in a reclaimed art community space that is a must-visit. A lineup of local musicians and bands will be playing after the event, so it’s a full day of creative power.
Could say more but I have zines to make. Hope to see you soon. – Ren
