BLACK SALT PRESS is Midnight Care Collective’s arm of practice that centers around the legacy of Black Feminist Archival practices through print.
Black Salt Press is an imprint of Midnight Care Collective. BSP is a living record for story-telling: We create objects that serve as both knowledge-sharing tools and familiar reflections of a larger communal experience. We recognize that Black self-publication is a method of lineage-making, and we tend to our praxis through the generational practice of radical print. Our publications encompass explorations related to Care, Source, and Navigation beyond a linear storyline.
We decided to make zines together as a way to make record of our collaborations as a collective, and share the fruits of our collaborations and conversations within our communities. Our press is an opportunity to story-tell from a practical sense: to create artifacts that people can find meaning in. We make our zines through practices of curiosity, and we print our zines within Detroit.
