HELLO BARKADA
arts & culture centered on the margins
Out of care for folx facing activism burnout, Hello Barkada offered two artful and re-grounding activities in June: an opportunity to make flower arrangements at the June edition of No More Markets, and a chance to check out and make art during Open Studio Hours at The Print Studio in Athenaeum Art Center. Stay tuned for future meetups at both of these and other spaces. Until then, please make time to recuperate before recommitting. We need you!
Hello Barkada is tabling at L.A. Zine Fest on Saturday, March 1, 2025 at The Broad Museum in Downtown L.A.! This zine fest marks Hello Barkada's first zine fest of the 2025 / Year of the Snake. Find me at Table 28, where I'll have zines, buttons, and crochet tings, to raise funds for mutual aid efforts in Altadena, Gaza, Goma, for land back efforts of the Gabrielino-Tongva, and for HB operations.
How learning to see the entrenched practices of empire within the popular arts has shifted my perspective on what it means to be a conscientious TV viewer and filmgoer, particularly as it relates to the BDS call to boycott Disney. Originally published on January 10, 2024.
When you become a Hello Barkada backer, patron, or client, you help support independent arts journalism and programming by, about, and for marginalized communities. Be a part of the momentum we're building in 2023 and consider a contribution, collaboration, and zine purchase today!
Our first micro-press effort is a 16-page zine featuring the first print reproductions of our 2021 comics series as well as original written and illustrated works. Profits offset our operations and help us commission artists and writers in 2023. Once 100 copies are sold, profits will also be shared with the cartoonists whose comics are featured in the zine. Buy a copy today!
Each activity is made to stir curiosity, start conversations, and build connections. No printer? No problem: Printing isn't necessary! These can be written, typed, and colored on in any free PDF editing application.
