QZAP was established in 2003 to preserve queer zines and make them available to other queers, researchers, historians, punks, and anyone else who has an interest in DIY publishing and underground queer communities.

Please bring your favorite queer zines from your own collections to share, BYOS(nacks), and join us on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: Queer History Month Edition with Special Guests QZAP at 7:30 p.m. CT Thursday, October 20! (Yes, we’re meeting on a Thursday evening this month.)

** RSVP required ** We want to make sure that our online Zine Club Chicago events are a safe space, so we won’t be releasing the Zoom link publicly. If you’d like to attend, please email zineclubchicago@gmail.com to RSVP by 9 p.m. CT Wednesday, October 19 (the evening before our event). We’ll email you the Zoom link by 5 p.m. CT Thursday, October 20.
