Announcing the 2024 shane patrick boyle Memorial Grant for Emerging Zinesters winners PART TWO

Today is shane patrick boyle day, honoring the founder of Zine Fest Houston & officially declared by the City of @houston in 2023. We're marking the day by announcing the winners of the 2024 shane patrick boyle Memorial Grant for Emerging Zinesters! This grant honors the life of shane patrick boyle, by fostering the creative DIY practice of emerging, queer zinesters who are vending at Zine Fest Houston.

This year, we are thrilled to announce that four artists have been awarded grants this year, thanks in part to the generous sponsorship of the Center for @cartoonstudies! We are grateful for your support!

This is PART TWO of our grantee features! Read on to learn more about two of this year's winners!

Will North (@aconjuremanlives) is a cultural worker and community historian based in Houston, Texas. Through his writings and artwork, he helps to facilitate intergenerational dialogues in shared spaces. He develops curriculum as a mentor in a rites of passage program for teenage boys and has worked with children of all ages as a volunteer art instructor in area schools. He organizes cultural immersion trips for youth and elders in order to expose them to the world outside of their city of origin.

Sydney Selene is a 23-year-old fat femme from Texas. They graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston Honors College, where they were first introduced to the world of Alternative Media. After volunteering with the literary arts nonprofit Writespace for over a year, Sydney has moved back to Houston to pursue her creative passions. She considers herself a newbie to the publishing space, but a lifelong curious creator. Selene particularly loves to make zines on paper she recycles herself, often using collage, erasure poetry, and researched manifestos. Among handbound journals and her typical zines, Sydney will debut “Hackneyed, Ersatz: The Anti-AI Zine”, a publication that she hopes to grow into a place for creatives to discuss the pitfalls of generative AI. You can find them at @sydyofstars on Twitter, TikTok, and Youtube, and on their website sydyofstars.com.

📣Announcing the 2024 shane patrick boyle Memorial Grant for Emerging Zinesters winners PART ONE📣

Today is shane patrick boyle day, a day commemorating the founder of Zine Fest Houston officially declared by the City of @houston last year. We are very excited to mark the day by announcing the winners of the 2024 shane patrick boyle Memorial Grant for Emerging Zinesters! Established in 2017, this grant aims to honor the life of shane patrick boyle, and foster the creative DIY practice of emerging, queer zinesters who are vending at Zine Fest Houston.

This year, we are thrilled to announce that four artists have been awarded grants this year, thanks in part to the generous sponsorship of the Center for @cartoonstudies! We are grateful for your support!

There's too much talent to fit into one post, so this is PART ONE of our grantee features! Read on to learn more about two of this year's winners!

e gachupin (@fur.elisse) is a Houston-based multimedia artist that explores the intersection of traditional artistic practice with contemporary craft and the ever-changing digital world. By merging Chicana and lesbian history, humor, and emotional examination, gachupin creates zines that convey vulnerable topics and critique through an absurdist lens. Their zines range from long-form collage, diary entries, parodies of our overstimulating internet culture , and a fanzine of a popular German-language novelist.

Monae Jacobs (@monaeism) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is heavily influenced by their practice of divination and ancestral connection. Their work aims to be a celebration of life for the queer ancestors who could never examine the nuance in their way of being due to navigating the traumas of enslavement. Inspired by the historical and geographical context of their birthplace, Galveston, TX, Monae’s work encapsulates the pursuit of Black liberation using paints, oils and collages.

In this fast-paced FREE workshop for kids 14 and up, participants will work together to make a one-page zine using collage. Each participant will start with their own one-page zine and then pass it around the table (just like in the game of hot potato!), so that everyone can add a little something to the pages.

At the end, you will walk away with your very own unique one-page collage zine! Water, soda, and snacks will be provided.
