The Harlem Renaissance dates from 1918 to the 1930s. A point in time that celebrated Black art, music, writing, and overall culture. Included in this movement were “little magazines,” comparable to today’s “zines”. These small editions were a space for poetry, art, political resistance, and experimental writing. Created by individuals and groups of artists, they were primarily distributed by hand within the community. Famous authors such as W.E.B. DuBois were primary funders for little magazines and some like The Messenger, founded by Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, were formally published. #Zines #LittleMagazines #HarlemRenaissance #1920s #Bookbinding #BlackHistory #WEBDuBois #ABM Image from NYCPL ... See MoreSee Less

Momo Mullings (@morganic.matter) is a writer, artist, zine maker (@blackberryzinecollective), and founder of the @blackzinearchive. Momo creates work that centers Black history and experiences including zines like RAGE, See Them See Us, essays like Wearing Weary (in Cornrows), and plays like Eat Lolo Eat. Originally inspired by the Little Magazines of the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Zine Archive is an open collection of historic and contemporary Black zines. The organization also teaches zine workshops and hosts a list of Black zine makers.
