Solar-Powered Zines is a zine distro co-op. We LOVE publishing new zinemakers and publish zines ranging from serious academic work to incredibly ridiculous nonsense to art and poetry to religious ritual guides. Solar-Powered Zines is TRADES ONLY, so please bring your own art to trade!!

Join us for the inaugural South Side Zine Fest at 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, July 26 at the Richard J. Daley Branch of the Chicago Public Library, 3400 S. Halsted St. in Bridgeport. Free!
