中華文化中心呈獻
Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco proudly presents the first ever Chinatown Ross Alley Zine Festival, an art and culture event showcasing a diverse lineup of independent Bay Area artists and zine publishers. Taking place on Saturday, November 9 from 12 pm - 4 pm, in Ross Alley, SF Chinatown, the festival aims to uplift BIPOC and independent artists; celebrate the dynamic communities and cultural vibrancy of Chinatown; create a innovative and inclusive platform to explore the possibilities of print media as a powerful tool of storytelling; and foster meaningful connections and spark dialogue among diverse communities.
The inaugural Chinatown Ross Alley Zine Festival, inspired and built upon the free expression and art form of print matters, featuring bay area based independent artists and publishers, offering limited edition zines and artworks for purchase, special items and book giveaways, film screening, music, and more! This event is free to the public.
The Chinatown Ross Alley Zine Festival will be held in conjunction with the newest edition of the 41 Ross Artist-in-Residence program with the artist, Ho Tam. Tam transforms 41 Ross into a temporary bookshop, gallery, and studio, as a special edition of Hotam Press, a multifaceted platform that he runs in Vancouver. Known for his exploration of print media and identity politics, Ho brings his unique perspective to experience the power of print media and invite people to discover its place in the rich cultural fabric of SF Chinatown.
We invite you to discover the power of print media, collect one of a kind artworks, and support the vibrant communities and artists.

About 41 Ross and AIR Program
41 Ross is a unique community art space located in the historic Ross Alley in San Francisco Chinatown. As a partnership between the Chinese Culture Center and the Chinatown Community Development Center, it represents an experimental collaboration between a contemporary art center and a neighborhood development organization. Since its inception in 2014, the 41 Ross Artist-in-Residence has served as an exchange platform for emerging or underexplored API/BIPOC artists, fostering the development of their work and the expansion of community-based practices within San Francisco's Chinatown. The program builds upon the CCC’s unique decades-long legacy in providing a platform for the artists’ experimental, conceptual, and research-based practices in an environment that strikes the balance between foregrounding artistic exploration, working within a cultural community, and promoting exchange amongst wider audiences. Past projects include, but are not limited to: Keyword School (2014), Chinatown Pretty (2015), Chinatown Home Cooking (2016), Liminal Space (2017), Art, Culture and Belonging in Chinatown and Manilatown (2020-21), and Table to Farm (2022).
