Lu (they/them) is an artist and Grrrl Zine Fair founder exploring queerness, neurodivergence and working‑class identity through research, collaboration and collecting. Their work celebrates the overlooked and questions hierarchies of value. They founded Grrrl Zine Fair CIC in 2015, a platform for self‑publishing and DIY feminist culture, and established the Grrrl Zine Library in 2017, now home to over 1,500 queer feminist zines at The Old Waterworks in Southend.
