Zine Club Chicago Online: Cut-and-Paste Conundrums Edition
7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, May 24 on Zoom
Free!

We all have those zines in our collections … the ones that represent some sort of mystery. Perhaps we can’t remember where we picked up a particular title, or we wish we could find out more about an enigmatic zinemaker. Or maybe the zine’s content explores a puzzling subject. This month, Zine Club Chicago will revel in (any possibly even unravel) the questions posed by the most intriguing zines we own. 

Grab your favorite cryptic zines, BYOS(nacks), and join us on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: Cut-and-Paste Conundrums Edition at 7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, May 24!
