Locusts Zine Release

&

Dj Miss Ginger Mixtape

Locusts is a publication & curatorial collaboration that addresses & challenges the current stasis in the mainstream & so-called radical queer communities.

Locusts embodies in all spectrums of sexuality & gender identity through small press publication by magnifying local, national, & international Queer & Trans People of Colours (QTPOC) & Indigenous Queer/Two-Spirit (IQ/2S) communities actively creating work through visual art, poetry/prose, critique, short stories, essays, interviews, experimental writing, concrete poetry, & various other forms of creative articulation. Locusts stands to challenge hetero/homo-normative political agendas, & move away from mainstream LGBTQI2S movements that marginalize & suppress non-White histories.

@locustszine is honored to announce our first issue of LOCUSTS: A Post-Queer Nation Zine. This issue is our first publication dedicated to radical & insurgent Queer & Trans aesthetics & poetics. Over 84 pages, LOCUSTS features the work of 15 contemporary Queer & Trans makers: Hansen Ashley, Joss Barton, Jess X Snow, Sky Duncan, Colin Edgar, GAY SHAME, Chris Gismondi, Mason J, Ivan Montiero, Reyna Ripper, Matthew Skeets, Kali Spitzer, Nyk Stegar, Kael Tarog, & Patricia Vazquez.
