“Named after Amiri Baraka’s 1966 play A Black Mass, this independent publishing venture was founded by Yusuf Hassan in 2018 with Project BlackMass, a spiral-bound publication with contributions from artists Arthur Jafa, Devin B. Johnson, Jacob Mason-Macklin, Frida Orupabo, Kwamé Sorrell, and others. Hassan and Sorrell, who continue as BlackMass’s publishers today, have produced dozens of zines both separately and together…”–Copy Machine Manifestos, Artists Who Make Zines (2023)."
