Hailed as India first Queer Graphic Anthology, this attempts at filling a void in the Queer space, and serves to make it a more relatable concept.

 

Love in the Age
Love in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction by Prabha Mallya

 

 

The Zine’s contributors are a melee of straight and queer, young and old, artist and writer, all people looking for ways to engage with different ideas of identity and sexuality.
