The Sick & Disabled Queer Zine Fair (SDQZF - known last year as SDQYZF) is back again for a second year with Bricks & Glitter! Come check out the fair featuring zines, art and merch to purchase from a sweet line-up (TBA) of sick, disabled, d/Deaf, Mad and neurodivergent 2SLGBTQ+ vendors.

The fair will take place Sunday August 25th from 1pm-5pm at the George Chuvalo Community Centre (50 Sousa Mendes St). This venue is a fully accessible facility, has all-gender washrooms, and ASL interpretation has been confirmed. The event is FREE or by donation (optional) for the Bricks & Glitter festival fund.

ACCESS INFO
The building has power doors, level floors (no steps) , all-gender washrooms (including one large single stall accessible washroom, and multi stall washrooms with some larger stalls), an elevator, and there will be a 'chill out' room for folks to sit, relax, and have light snacks. The main space is lined with very large windows so the space will be lit with natural light, and supplemented with lighting from multiple standing lamps if needed (if it is overcast and darker outside).

The George Chuvalo Community Centre strives to provide a scent-free environment. For the safety of our vendors and attendees with chemical disabilities, we ask that you do not wear scented products (perfume, cologne, essential oils, scented body products) in the space. If you are a smoker, please take a walk/roll down or across the street to smoke and make sure to wash your hands with the scent-free soap in the bathroom before approaching vendors.

BRICKS & GLITTER - We are a trouble of queers who believe in creativity and collectivity, in imagining together a world worth living in. Intersectional by default and critical by necessity, we are trying to create a space for us all of us, to world build together, and to practice the future in the now. Bricks and Glitter is a community arts festival, celebrating two-spirit, trans and queer talent, ingenuity, caring, anger, and abundance.
