Zine Club Chicago Online: Labor Edition

7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, August 20 on Zoom

Free!

What kind of work do you do? That question has inspired countless self-published tributes, rants, and calls to action. This month, Zine Club Chicago will be discussing zines about labor of all kinds — the work we love, the work we perform to pay the bills, the work we dread, and the work we do to build a better world.

Grab your favorite zines about labor to share, BYOS(nax) and join us on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: Labor Edition at 7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, August 20!

** RSVP required ** We want to make sure that our online Zine Club Chicago events are a safe space, so we won’t be releasing the Zoom link publicly. If you’d like to attend, please email zineclubchicago@gmail.com to RSVP by 5 p.m. CT Monday, August 19 (the evening before our event). We’ll email you the Zoom link by 5 p.m. CT Tuesday, August 20.

Zine newbies and longtime enthusiasts alike are always welcome at Zine Club Chicago. This free monthly event series is produced by Cynthia E. Hanifin and sponsored by Quimby’s Bookstore. Anna Jo Beck designs our monthly flyers, created our logo, and made our Zine Club Chicago Shout-Outs site, where folks can peruse and recommend zines we’ve discussed at our events: https://zineclubchicagoshoutouts.spread.name/
