ABQ Zine Fest is a safer space event and works to serve the entire zine community, for the enjoyment of all. We wish to foster an environment that is welcoming and free of oppressive actions, behaviors, and language. We encourage good communication, kindness as well as openness. In the spirit of goodwill, ABQZF will not tolerate racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, religious intolerance and all other forms of discrimination. Sexual harassment, inappropriate/unwelcome comments and behaviors are not acceptable at ABQZF, as well as disruptive or disrespectful behavior that might cause a participant, attendee, or ABQZF Producer to feel distressed or unsafe. We encourage kindness, while respecting personal boundaries. Censorship of zine materials is also not tolerated. However, please do consider that ABQZF is an event open to individuals of all ages, and families. Designated ABQZF producers will be available to act as mediators should problems arise between exhibitors and/or attendees. ABQZF aims to peacefully resolve any conflict that might arise at any ABQZF events or communication leading up to Zine Fest. Anyone found to be in violation of the safer spaces policy is unable to change or address their unsafe behavior or language, they will be asked to not participate or to leave the event.
