Iris Afantchao is an archivist and writer from Windsor, CT based in western Massachusetts. In libraries, they love to add zines to the collection and run events about the many kinds of zines that may make their way into your local archive or library shelf. They love solo nights at the movie theater, spicy sweets, and reading historical gossip. Iris hopes to learn something new about printmaking this year. As an apprentice, Iris helps with events and learns about the many potential uses of zines for community organizing.
