ZAPATEO: Year One Forever
(2024)
Labor Day 2023, five hundred heads converge on a West Virgina summer camp with the lights, sound, and movement of electronic and hardcore. The gym is a rave. The lodge deck is a mosh pit. For four days Appalachia echoes with underground music blurring genre and defying definition. The festival is called ZAPATEO.
To commemorate the experience, I worked with the organizers and a small editorial team to capture a slice of the ephemera in a 40 page zine celebrating the festival’s inaugural year.
