FORTUNE:
In the Year of the Earth Pig 2019, FORTUNE formed as a Philadelphia-based publication project. It was conceived by Andrienne Palchick, Heidi Ratanavanich, and Connie Yu, assembled by and for queer and trans Asian publics. Each of 13 monthly issues joined letterpress and risograph printing, featured multiple contributors, and was released through community gatherings of varied scale. Now, FORTUNE continues to think of printing and self-publishing as a practice of learning, gathering, remembering, and making multiple. As such, FORTUNE will always be a public project, tended to collectively.
Many Folds Press:
Many Folds Press is a Philadelphia-based risograph studio, and an extension of FORTUNE, a print collective assembled by/for queer and trans Asians. We work to provide accessible and responsive print services, to make room for more queer BIPOC stories, and to celebrate our own — in material forms, in multiples.
