Piddle Productions

What Does Piddle mean? Piddle can mean a lot of things. Piddle Productions is a multimedia hub for under-served communities. To our community of artists, free thinkers and leaders it means we will continuously express ourselves without limitation or boundaries. We are committed to experimenting with several forms of art in order to heal ourselves and our communities. The time we waste here is exploring new ideas that help humanity come together with art, wellness and understanding.   

The CAFAM Shop is thrilled to introduce a new zine/small press section, curated by L.A. Zine Fest and The Pop-Hop . We're celebrating the launch of the new collaboration Saturday, April 18th, and you're invited. Work from The Blk Grrrl Show , John Pham, Yumi Sakugawa :: Comic Book Artist + Illustrator , Tiny Splendor , and Selfish. This is really exciting for me because I have been a zinester since 2010 with the launch of my Black Punk Rock themed zine "Abstract By Nature." I'll be there representing with the #blkgrrrl show and reciting a few of my poems from my chapbook "Rage Love Complexity."  Very honored to share the stage with Pam Ward and Teka Lark Fleming. I donated books and I will have chapbooks available at the Pop Hop in Highland Park, Ca. See you there, Zoe Blaq

                         Blkgrrrl Planning Crew  The 1st annual BlkGrrrl Book Fair was insane!! It is one of the best new things to hit Los Angeles and I'm not just saying that because I curated the Julie Dash film festival section. This is what happens when you put Black women together that have vision, drive and determination.   LA weekly picked the book fair as one of the top places to be that weekend and I won't be surprised if it remains at the top for many years to come. The BlkGrrrl book fair set a tone and a reference for Women's month in Los Angeles. There was definitely something for everyone with a wide variety of literature for children and adults. Art exhibits, open poetry, panels, workshops, food, and vendors kept the stimulation going all day.  Every chair was filled and people stood in the back of the room to watch the Julie Dash film festival. I will always remember the belly la...

I have the pleasure of curating an art show called  " Personal Reflections; Honoring Black Women in Art" Rock Rose Gallery has Invited me to put together a group show for Black History month and the beginning of Women's month.  I am also exhibiting my own mixed media art "Forest Angel" and "Self Reflection." The intention is to honor the multi faceted talents that we are born with as natural creators and healers. The intent is to honor our ancestors, ourselves and  future artists to come.  I want us to remember our powerful raw energy that we carry around with us. When we are open to expressing ourselves freely without limitations, love is our guide. The exhibit will express the constant unfoldment of new experiences that lead to creativity.  It's about the beginning of an idea. It's about that tingly feeling that gives you energy, movement, life. The exhibit will  be up February 21st through March 2nd.
