Come to Recirculation, a project of Word Up (876 Riverside Drive (& 160th St.) to join in a celebration of two new zines by local authors: Plants of My Neighborhood / Plantas de mi Barrio by Jerise Fogel, and Lost Diamonds, A History of Gender Rebellion in American Baseball by Ellen Lindner. Join the authors, plus artist, educator, zinester, and founding Word Up collective member Sandy Jimenez, for an all-ages zine workshop at 12 p.m. All materials will be provided.
At 2:30 Ellen, Jeri and Sandy will reconvene for a discussion of zine culture. What is a zine? Who makes them? Why?
Zines by all authors will be available for purchase, as well as a range of zines and comics from Word Up! This event is part of the Uptown Arts Stroll, an annual event celebrating our vibrant local arts community!
