ECHO is…
my “low-budget DIY feminist publishing and creation project” started in 2001. I make zines, comix, and pamphlets (and sometimes music, spoken word, and crafts too).
Apart from posting about my own zines, I use this blog to announce feminist zine-related news, especially from Belgium, write zine reviews and share articles about DIY feminist zine culture.
(ECHO is not a distro or publishing company!)

Finding magickal moments while travelling
I’m just back from a holiday at the sea, a place that feels magical to me. The seemingly endless horizon, the crashing waves influenced by the gravity of the moon, the lighthouses and ships at night, the nearly empty beach … Continue reading
