About myx lee

myx lee is a Blasian experimental nail artist whose practice bridges personal and political histories—from their father doing nails as a Vietnamese immigrant in NYC to their mother’s embrace of nails as underground Black fashion culture. They alchemize war-born chemicals into tools of everyday beauty, offering nail sessions that center liberated aesthetics and body-based countersurveillance tactics.

Black Reading Room

This activation is part of the Black Zine Fair Reading Room at Secret Riso Club, a month-long installation in celebration of Juneteenth. The Reading Room is an intimate, living archive that honors the legacy and future of Black publishing, rooted in southern traditions, abolitionist thought, and collective struggle. As censorship and cultural repression escalate, this space offers a site for reflection, imagination, and care. Through community activations like this one, the Black Zine Fair continues its mission to uplift Black independent publishing as both a creative practice and a political response.
