Masking Through Blackness: Mask Fitting, Self Expression and Community Care
½ sized ⦁ 44 pages
This zine aims to be a conversational guide, toolkit and love letter for Black people that mask and take COVID/virus precautions. We face unique issues including difficulty with mask fitting, (hair)styling and access to resources. These topics are discussed with other Black people but are not easily found in mainstream COVID resources. This zine centers info sharing in a more accessible, sharable way.
The main sections are "Mask Fitting and Fixes!", "Self Expression & Hairstyling with Masks!" and "Dreaming, Masking & Staying Grounded". Sabrina draws on her experiences of masking as a Black disabled person and love of mask & COVID resource distribution. The pages are full of detailed virus safety information along with mask comparison charts, vibrant illustrations and styling examples from the author.
Sabrina Sims (she/her) is a bi Black Puerto Rican chronically ill artist from the Bronx. Her saturated multimedia work focuses on Black cosmic tech, softness as a tactile-emotional feeling and community idea sharing. She enjoys synthesizing mediums including printmaking/zines, textiles, biomaterials and livecoded audiovisuals.
