Welcome to From the Bench, SFCB's series of short studio visits with friends near and far. From favorite tools to works in progress, you never know what you'll learn about from these amazing artists.

This month we'll chat with Rae Lanzerotti, a disabled access artist and maker of memoir comics and zines based in San Francisco.

Rae Lanzerotti uses disability access tools to make touchable, audible, and graphic memoir comics, zines, and art books. They have shown multimodal pieces locally at the Museum of Craft and Design and the gallery of Ruth’s Table. Rae's memoir comic, “Embodied,” at the forefront of innovating accessible comics, will be featured in the display ‘Zines Forever: DIY Publications and Disability Justice (Wellcome Collection, London UK, March - Sept 2025).

As a 2025 “Hearts in San Francisco” artist, Rae’s heart is always here.
