Join us on Zoom on June 20 for a talk about Avery Hulog-Vicente's experiences with zine making and how they can be tools for resistance and care!

Avery Hulog-Vicente (she/her) is a Filipina-American writer, artist, mental health advocate, and passionate zinester based in Sacramento, California. Through her artist name, gale.minna, Avery creates and publishes zines that explore themes of mental health, self-determination, cultural identity, and diasporic belonging. Her work blends original poetry, short stories, and digital illustrations, offering readers intimate glimpses into the complexities of healing, resilience, and heritage. Rooted in a healing justice framework, Avery's zines are an offering toward collective care, cultural connection, and reclaiming rest, joy, and storytelling as forms of resistance and liberation.

This lecture invites the audience to see DIY publishing as a way to challenge systems that disconnect people from land and each other, nurture community ties, and spark collective action.
