Flame Zine

A transfeminist independent publishing platform developed by Karne Kunst and Sorora e.V. from 2020, creating space for artistic and written practices often underrepresented in mainstream cultural publishing. Through thematic collective issues and artist-focused editions, Flame Zine brought together illustration, photography, comics, poetry, essays, performance, video and experimental writing, with particular attention to migrant, Black, Indigenous, queer, trans, non-binary and disabled perspectives. Editorial and artistic direction was initially led by María Victoria Rodríguez, later joined by Carla Abilés. Contributors across its editions included Titihoon, Martina Haro, Dyuti Mittal, Agustina Garro, Candela Medina, Esdian, Alicia Morán, Cynthia Gabbay, Laura Sussini, Rocío Genovese, Camila Camélia, Larissa Merzthal and others. Editions such as Cuerpx / Body, Magic, Deseo—developed in collaboration with Berlin-based poetry platform Pasajero del Muro—and Diverse expanded the project into a sustained space for self-publishing, artistic exchange and intersectional transfeminist expression.
