I've tried to capture the size of the Expozine #ZineFair in Montreal. I'm still missing a third of the fair in this frame. #DIYzines #Zines

A large hall with 7 rows of tables, filled with exhibitors and visitors. There are large pillars along the longitudinal walls.

The air quality at Expozine #ZineFair in Montreal. La qualité de l'air à Expozine. (Dehors: 420ppm) Anything over 1200ppm is pretty bad, and about 2% of the crowd protects themselves. Mask up, folks! Get your flu and COVID boosters!

This is good advice: « A big part of reading is visiting other worlds, and you can’t visit another world if you’re constantly distracted by this one. If you’re going to read on your phone or e-reader, switch it to airplane mode so you’re not even tempted to go online 1/2

"3. Turn on Airplane mode" written in felt marker.

Text: "Brief Thoughts - DON'T SCRIMP ON BEAUTY:
Interior of Cooper Cole art gallery, large industrial space with white walls showcasing colourful paintings and sculptures.

I've been exploring Toronto's smaller art galleries lately even though I'm not well versed in contemporary art. I'm pretty much down for anything which has meant checking out a lot of shows I don't really connect with or don't understand at first. I don't mind; there are worse ways to spend an hour or two than seeing another exhibit. I figure there's no short cut to training oneself in new ways of perceiving/understanding art and simply wading through the slush. I'm..."

I discovered something super interesting today. At the St. Volodymyr Institute Library in Toronto, they have started what is possibly the world's first Ukrainian zine library/collection. www.stvolodymyr.org/ukrainian-zi... It has a small collection, but maybe you could add to it? #DIYzine

Collage of a black square with "Ukrainian zine library" written on a black square, with transparencies in blue and yellow (colours of the Ukrainian flag) of traditional Ukrainian fabric patterns, and pages of zines.

I'm glad that the Ottawa Anarchist Bookfair has a Corsi-Rosenthal box, because holy cow the CO2 level (usually a good proxy measure of potential viral spread) is through the roof. It's also a fully masked fair.

Une super belle affiche pour le festival anarchiste @constellationfest.bsky.social à Montréal à la mi-mai!

CONSTELLATION, un festival anarchiste à Montréal
Du 15 au 21 mai 2025, gratuit et pour tous les âges
Salon du livres, skill faire, dance party
Zines, musique, art, bouffe, ateliers et plus.

Le poster est un dessin dans le style de l'art nouveau, avec un•e anarchiste portant un balaclava et une robe (?) qui a été tirée vers le bas du torse. La figure est penchée de façon séductrice sur une petite table ronde et invite le spectateur à être silencieux avec un doigt posé sur ses lèvres. Dans l'arrière-fond, il y a une végétation généreuse dans le style luxueux pour lequel l'art nouveau est populaire.

What a beautiful poster for the @constellationfest.bsky.social anarchist festival in Montreal!

Poster:

CONSTELLATION, an anarchist festival in Montréal
May 15-21 2025, Free and All-Ages
Bookfair, skill faire, dance party
Zines, music, workshops, food, art and more.

The poster is a drawing in the style of art nouveau, with a fairie-like anarchist figure wearing a balaclava, no top and a dress which has been pulled down the chest. The figure is leaning seductively on a small round table and beckoning the viewer to silence with a finger on their lips. In the background, there is luscious vegetation in the luxurious style which art nouveau is popular for.

Throwback to the time when I ordered a laptop case and it came in a fairly large box and wrapped in a 22 foot long strip of Kraft paper.

The poster is standing straight, his body completely wrapped in a single wide strip of Kraft paper.
