A Canadian Queer Zine Art Show

As part of a two week Artist in Residency program at Anchor Zine Library and Archive in Halifax, Christopher Wilde, co-founder of The Queer Zine Archive Project (QZAP), a web-based digital archive of past and present queer zines, curated SPEW Fo(u)rth: A Canadian Queer Zine Art Show.

Using the street style art format of wheat paste posters, Christopher combed the collections at Anchor and QZAP to bring to life over 35 queer zine highlights from the 25 year history of a phenomenon that originated in Canada and quickly spread throughout the world in an era before the Internet. Using pages from the first issue of Dr. Smith from 1984 up to zines published in the summer of 2009, he sought to contextualize marginalized groups within radical queer culture by enlarging their original work as it appeared on the printed page to appear in large format poster size.
