Fold, Staple, Riot: The Art and Subulture of Zine Making

June 14 – July 15

In conjunction with Gluestick Fest (the second annual Indianapolis zine and small publishing festival), this exhibition will highlight local and national DIY publishing and art-making. The exhibition will feature master copies and photocopied zines along with original art, concept sketches, preparatory drawings, and other aspects of the zine making process.

Zines, short for magazine, are self-published works that explore a variety of topics from poetry to politics. Generally produced in editions of fewer than 100, zines have been utilized by various subcultures that are informed by the “do-it-yourself” ethos. This exhibition will highlight the intersection of art, publication, protest, and the diversity of voices in zines and zine culture.
