YOUTH PRINT ARCHIVE CO-OPERATIVE

Established in 2026, the Youth Print Archive Co-op (YPAC) is an anti-profit, collectively-contributed archive of youth underground print material: zines, posters, pamphlets, paper objects, and the like. 

All* contributions are published, and all contributions are written directly by their creators. All we do is copy/paste those contributions to this site. 

The aim of this archive is to assist in cultivating a free, open-access network of print activity amongst youth participating in art, music and political organizing across the U.S.A. and beyond. The hope is that this archive aids in the cross-pollination of ideas--that it helps folks find each other for collaboration, inspiration, and friendship.

Description:
I created my zine because I wanted to share my art in the physical world. I wanted you to feel something tangible in your own hands. I wanted you to have something to rip apart and to make into something totally new, to have something to collect dust, to have a new poster for your bedroom wall, to have something to pass along to your friends. I wanted my art to mean something more than just an image on your screen. 

I am interested in giving too much away. I am interested in oversharing. I am interested in being seen.

This is SWIRL GIRL 101.

Contributors:
 Included a feature on my two friends Ana Sofia Harrison and Olivia Tedesco!
