BLACK SALT PRESS is Midnight Care Collective’s arm of practice that centers around the legacy of Black Feminist Archival practices through print.
We decided to make zines together as a way to share our care work, make record of our experimental makings as a collective, and share the evolving creations of fellow community spaces in Detroit. Our press is an opportunity to story-tell from a practical sense: to create objects that serve as knowledge sharing tools that people can utilize and find meaning in. We recognize zines as a method of lineage making, allowing us to build our praxis thoughts through self publication. We make our zines through practices of play, and we print our zines with Detroit-area Risographs and Xerox printers. Our zines and zines made by our collaborators encompass the multitudes of our current life contemplations related to care, survival, and spirituality.
