Insights 2024 Design Lecture Series: Twin Cities Zine Fest

For 20 years, the Twin Cities Zine Fest (TCZF) has welcomed creatives, rebels, musicians, and frustrated intellectuals to connect, create, and share ideas through zines and self-publishing. Collectively organized by a group of volunteers, TCZF has collaboratively supported this form of design most often created by those without traditional, formal design training. Instead, TCZF champions sustainable support of self-publishing and the DIY ethic in local communities, with an intersectional focus on politically and socially engaged zines, community partnership, and amplifying the voices of those who have been historically unheard. Gathering a group of zine makers throughout TCZF’s years, this evening explores the vibrant plurality of voices and perspectives on local zines.
