publications that we put together, publish and distribute ourselves.
The People of Color (POC) Zine Project Collective, in collaboration with
numerous campus units, is excited to announce a zine reading/community
event featuring poc zinesters with diverse backgrounds in zine culture
and activism. "Beyond Meet Me At the Race Riot' includes an impressive
line-up of panelists who offer through their zines a chronology and a
partial history of the creative and intellectual production of people of
color.In recent years, punk and riot grrrl have become the subject of
much retrospection and analysis (there are easily a score of scholarly
and popular monographs, documentaries, and exhibitions completed or in
progress). This retrospective turn, with its subsequent
institutionalization of some stories about punk and riot grrrl and not
others, has largely failed to center race as a crucial
factor'contributing to the invisibility of people of color in
punk/do-it-yourself culture. This panel will explore popular zines from
writers of color'featuring a wide range of subjects from personal
experiences (perzines!) to zines that examine social justice. If you
make your own zines, you're invited to bring them to the discussion to
share, read from, or swap!
