Join us for the closing reception of Zine/ZEEN/: The Art of Homemade Resistance exhibition. Doug Blandy will be giving a short presentation on his zine collection and highlighting a few of the 100 zines we have on loan from him in the exhibition.

Doug is a professor in the School of Planning, Public Policy and Management in the Center for Community Arts and Cultural Policy (CCACP), College of Design at the University of Oregon -(https://pppm.uoregon.edu/pppm/doug-blandy).

Zines are an alternative approach to communication— self-published and independently produced—where zinesters have discovered their voices through making art and telling stories in their own ways. By publishing and sharing their work, zinesters and zines provide space for alternative, independent ideals communicated in approachable ways.

The exhibition will feature hundreds of diverse zines in a variety of formats from all over the country, and internationally, while highlighting some of Oregon’s most popular zinesters including: Kate Bingaman-Burt and collectors such as Doug Blandy, professor, and Director of Arts and Administration at the University of Oregon.

Thank you to our supporters!
