Zine Club Chicago Online: Pride Edition
7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, June 25 on Zoom
Free!

Happy Pride Month! In June, Zine Club Chicago will be celebrating zines created by LGBTQIA+ zinemakers, so bring your favorite self-published perzines, diary comics, radical treatises, how-to guides + more to discuss during the conversation! Queer zinemakers are especially encouraged to share their own work.

Grab your fave queer zines to share, BYOG(ushers) and join us on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: Pride Edition at 7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, June 25!

** 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, June 24 (the evening before our event). We’ll email you the Zoom link by 5 p.m. CT Tuesday, June 25.

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.

P.S. Thanks to everybody who came out to the May Zine Club Chicago meeting at Quimby’s with Alex O’Keefe of DnA Artists! Download the zine that everybody contributed to so that you can print and assemble it HERE!
