“I think this wonderful show is a great argument for all the things a zine can be.”

Like so many others, Johanna Fateman and Lizania Cruz discovered the DIY phenomenon of zines and zine-making as teenagers, which prompted their respective deep-dives into subcultures and creating art of their own.

In this episode of Perspectives, the artists revisit their early work, discuss the subversiveness that is inherent in zines, and the vitality of the medium today.

Perspectives is a series dedicated to intergenerational, roundtable discussions about art, current exhibitions, and major themes at the Brooklyn Museum.
