Tabler Spotlight!

Name: Niko Nada

Project name: Rad Breath (Rad Breath)

Location: Oakland

Description of your zine/distro:
Rad Breath focuses on good kids with bad habits, not to be mistaken with bad kids. The zines cover subjects like q***r identities, mental illnesses, breaking engrained latinx standards, partying with the people you love, and art that expresses it all.

Why you love perzines: Discovering perzines as a category made all my work make sense cause I was whining and rambling without knowing what to call it. The access to peoples personal identities and experiences being expressed on paper, nothing beats it.

The idea behind Dear Diary Zine Fest began when a couple of seasoned East Bay zinesters felt jaded about the current state of zine fests. Disappointed with the high number of expensive art zines and low number of trashy, cut-and-paste zines, we decided to start a new kind of zine fest. Dear Diary Zi...
