A radically intersectional & decolonial
Xicana Feminist Publication
Influenced by D.I.Y (do-it-yourself) and punk rock feminism,
Daisy Salinas began Muchacha Fanzine as a feminist punk zine in 2011. Over the years, Muchacha has grown into a larger, submission-based compilation of work by marginalized voices from around the world. Topics covered include art, writing, and political education on indigenous resistance, intersectional feminism, youth liberation, black lives matter, environmental justice, coalition building, body positivity, LGBTQ rights, migration, decolonizing travel, & more.
Daisy Salinas is a San Antonio-based Xicana feminist zinester, punk musician, fest curator, and activist whose work explores themes of feminism, decolonization, and social justice.
In 2011, Daisy founded the radically intersectional decolonial Native Xicana Feminist publication Muchacha Fanzine. Along with zine-making, Daisy’s greatest passion is music. She founded the bands Alien Midwife, Mendiga Desgrasiada, and currently fronts the San Antonio Anti-System Tejana punk act Frijolera Riot.
