Zine Club Chicago Online: Perzines Edition with
Special Guests Jonas and Red of Midwest Perzine Fest
7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, September 21 on Zoom
Free!
This month, Zine Club Chicago has a lot to celebrate! The group is incredibly excited to welcome two special guests, Jonas and Red of Midwest Perzine Fest, to discuss one of the most compelling and enduring genres in self-publishing: Perzines.
In a world where too many voices still go unheard, perzines (short for personal zines) thrive at the intersection of the personal and the political, where our individual stories can inspire connection, hope, and revolutionary action. Jonas and Red will talk about their own deeply personal zines, their favorite perzines, and the fest they’re organizing to bring together perzine makers and fans from across the region. Everyone is invited to bring your own most-loved perzines to share, too!
The members of Zine Club Chicago also will be breaking out their finest fizzy beverages and snacks to commemorate Quimby’s’ 30th anniversary! This September marks three years that the store has sponsored Zine Club Chicago, too.
Grab your fave perzines, BYOB(ubbly), and join in on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: Perzines Edition with Special Guests Jonas and Red of Midwest Perzine Fest at 7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, September 21!
