I promise you that what BIPOC zinesters don’t need is white academics making data viz projects of zines by BIPOC.
We can make those ourselves. What we need is increased access to resources & funding & a seat at the table as project leaders, not being your research topic.💯🧵 Also pay attention to the ways that white allies have been tangibly supporting discovery of BIPOC zines for years: @qzap @BarnardZineClub @BarnardCollege @zinecat are just some examples. If your goal is to support BIPOC zine search ability taxonomy, support @zinelib & @zinecat.
