Zine making is an act of resistance, rejecting the power structures of mainstream publishing, self-creating a home for marginalized and minoritized makers to take up space. Zine makers tell their stories with prose, poetry, collage, illustrations, juxtaposition. Student, part-time, and full-time staff from the Barnard Zine Library will explore zines from our collection that share creators' first hand experiences with redlining, gentrification, and other expressions of geographic racism.
