Lex Kartanė – Miss Read

Lex Kartanė

Hi, I’m Lex Kartanė (they/them), Lithuanian disabled queer artist and zine maker based in Berlin. My work explores themes of disability, neurodiversity, queerness, autism, gender diversity, and animals. I create zines and art that reflect my personal experiences and offer insights on inclusion. Through my art, I aim to foster greater understanding and acceptance. I would love to be part of your event to share my creations and connect with a like-minded community.

I'm not your cosmic lesson

A photo shows four black and white zines arranged in a fan shape on a light wooden table. The covers have a textured, grainy background with bold, hand written white text that reads: “I’m not your cosmic lesson.” At the bottom it says, “zine by Lex.” Small white star shapes appear near the lower right corner of the cover.
Several red and orange roses with green stems are placed around and partly on top of the zines. Some of the roses look slightly wilted. The overall mood feels intimate and slightly dramatic, with the contrast of dark covers against the warm wood and vivid flowers.

Update me. Call me. Talk to me

A photo shows five small zines arranged in a fan shape on a dark fabric background with evenly spaced white polka dots. The covers are light beige with faint grid lines and a layered design that looks like handwritten notes in the background.
Printed in the center in black serif text are the words: “update me,” “call me,” and “talk to me,” each on separate lines. At the bottom it says, “Zine by Lex.”
Blue botanical illustrations decorate the cover, including small flowers, leaves, and plant stems placed along the sides and corners. The overall feeling is soft and intimate, with a handmade, letter writing aesthetic.
