Also, don't miss their panel on campus at Allen Hall at 4:00 in the
afternoon!*
Unit One Allen Hall's South Rec Room *basement (1005 W. Gregory Dr.,
MC-050, Urbana, IL 61801)
What's a zine? Zines(pronounced 'zeens') are self-made, independent
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! Sponsored by the
Women's Resources Center, Unit One Allen Hall, LGBT Resource Center,
DiversityEd, Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center, La Casa
Cultural Latina, and the Native American House
