Antifragile Zine is a youth artist collective and independent magazine run by all queer women of color and non-binary people of color. Founded in 2020 by Bay Area youth, Macey Keung and Miumi Shipon, Antifragile was born out of a pressing need for community and opportunity led by youth, for youth, especially dedicated to marginalized creatives who have felt unseen in mainstream media. At its core, Antifragile is grounded on the belief that by bringing together youth, art, and community, we can catalyze radical change.
our mission
