Jen Fox
I have 2 collectively made zines, one about reactions to kerb crawling and street harrassment, the other made by the feminist reading group in Bradford. A couple of small comics/zines about funny dreams, haircuts, disappointing things, frankly pointless stuff. A perzine about squatting, urban exploration, travelling and love. A perzine about lots of stuff including mental health system in the UK, straight edge, growing up queer. A zine about inspiring women. some more i have slightly forgotten. Although I don’t write directly about anarcho feminism, that’s probably where I’d put myself.

I make a comic zine and will also be distributing a few other ones I’ve made (about self defence, cookery, anarchist history). Also some zines and pamphlets by friends, mostly from an anarchist/punk/vegan/feminist background, and a couple of books mostly from Natterjack distro.

Other Asias
An artists collective called Other Asias that produce zines and distribute zines from Siberia, Egypt, Japan, Pakistan, India, Korea, Palestine.
We have been running since 2008 and are based in London and South Asia – with members of our collective from Kazakhistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Siberia. We aim to show the alternative underground of these regions, as well challenge the whiteness and US/ Eurocentrism of independent culture (sadly, this is still the case!)
Here is a list of our zines – mostly in the £1 range.

Partisan Zine
I come from Siberia and I used to make zines there in the early 90′s and some of them I have reprinted now. I am based in London and work in documentary films and produce ecstatic music of Siberia’s most adventurous artists, and organise gigs and projects for them in the West. I make hand-made CDs and DVDs of my stuff. I also started a new zine called Partisan, featuring for example, interviews with indian political documentary makers and a political analysis of hip hop in Israel.
