PLAY
$24
PLAY is a cookbook zine featuring recipes, essays, and artwork from a community of LGBTQ+ chefs, writers, and artists, including Andy Baraghani, Brontez Purnell, Julia Turshen, Rebekah Pepler, Magdalena O’Neal, Jon Kung, Isabel Rower, Tyler Givens, Michelle Hyun Kim, Sarah Stellwag, Preeti Mistry, Telly Justice, Lisa Fernandes, Chala June, Martine Guttierez, Lo Alalay, Meech Boakye, Silver Iocovozzi, Leo Kirts, and Alyssa Nitchun.
Created as a way to celebrate and nourish the queer community, proceeds from all PLAY projects will be donated to queer mutual aid initiatives.
All proceeds from this volume of the zine will go to two mutual aid projects addressing housing and food insecurity among the queer and trans communities: The Okra Project in NYC and Intransitive in Arkansas.
By buying a copy of the zine, you will be directing funds to queer mutual aid projects. Zines will be available during the event with a pay-as-you-wish option so that you can donate as much as you’d like to these initiatives!
The project is being led by Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Ludwig Hurtado, Senior Editor, Colleen Hamilton, and Creative Director, Gabriella Lewis. We're three folks in the food and media space who got tired of seeing tired Pride month stories about "queer food" that don't address the actual problem of food insecurity for the most vulnerable among us. We felt it important to center these narratives as an antidote to “corporate pride.” We were all devastated by the ongoing attacks on trans youth— which have led to alarming rates of homelessness and food insecurity—and wanted to tap into the long history of queer mutual aid.
