In AGITATE! AGITATE! AGITATE! Cj Reay of Black Lodge Press reflects upon their relationship to DIY print culture, zines, and the politics of art production. Reay lays out a history of DIY print and the people’s press: from chapbooks produced during the French revolution to the zines made in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, while outlining their own personal engagement with reading, music, and art that agitates, angers, and incites action. For Cj Reay, growing up in rural Northern England, the inherently anti-capitalist nature of DIY culture provided a connection to radical working class movements and the politics of anarchy: ‘living breathing movements of resistance and joy and complexity and disappointment and boundless optimism.’ Co-published with Black Lodge Press, AGITATE! AGITATE! AGITATE! is a zine about the beauty and radical power of creating art without permission.
