Come join a panel of zinesters and archivists for a conversation about punk media and resistance!
WHEN: Saturday, April 18 from 1-3pm
WHERE: Piano Room, Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library
Join
OACES, MITH, and the UMD Libraries for an event celebrating the vibrant
legacy of DC.'s punk and indie zine culture. From DIY publishing to
grassroots activism, zines have long served as vehicles for marginalized
voices and agents of social change.
This
panel discussion brings together scholars and creators to explore the
history, cultural significance, and evolving future of zines in social
justice movements. Punk Resistance invites participants to engage
with the creative power of self-publishing as both community archiving
and a living practice of self-expression, community-building, and
dissent.
The panel consists of:
Jenna Freedman, Director of the Barnard Zine Library (Moderator)
Milo Miller, Co-founder of the Queer Zine Archive Project
John R. Davis, UMD Special Collections Curator and author of Keep Your Ear to the Ground: A History of Punk Fanzines in Washington, DC
Diya Shah, UMD WMUC Zine Co-director
Alexa Boltax, UMD WMUC Zine Co-director
