Venom Zine Library

8th May – 14th June, 2025.

Come and browse over 200 zines at ISBN+ or create your own using guided instructions from Venom Zine Library!

Venom Zine Library is a DIY BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) and queer zine library, as well as a platform for exploring self-publishing. Based in Copenhagen, it was founded by Maya Acharya and Janna Aldaraji. The project stems from a desire to collectivize access to zines, share resources on zine-making, and promote self-publishing as a tool within communities, activist spaces, organizing, and academia.
To foster conversation and contextualize Venom’s collection within OFF-Biennale Budapest, Hungary, and Eastern Europe, curator Borbála Soós, in collaboration with the ISBN+ team, has selected additional publications. This selection aims to highlight grassroots organizing and intersectional struggles from marginalized perspectives, amplifying anti-fascist, feminist, disabled, queer, and Roma voices.

Explore zine-making as a powerful tool for grassroots organizing, activism and sharing ideas and art.
