2026 Black Zine Fair T-Shirt: Modest Tools S
Discursive Circus Tee
This limited-edition tee features black collage-style illustrations by Ezekiel Robinson screenprinted by PAAL WORLD. Designed by Malachi Lily and Neta Bomani, the shirt channels the spirit of the third annual Black Zine Fair: Modest Tools — a celebration of Black radical publishing and imagination.
The front graphic combines hand-drawn imagery including sewing tools, scattered symbols, and a central figure rendered in an archival sketch style, with additional black illustrations printed on the sleeves. The shirt has a soft, worn-in look with dropped shoulders and wide sleeves
100% cotton. Powder blue mineral wash crew neck t-shirt made by Los Angeles Apparel. Washed with natural enzymes for a soft, broken-in feel.
Mineral wash dyeing creates subtle variations in color and texture. Color transfer may occur—wash separately in cold water.
