June 2012 Salon Series: Zines!
The Center for Arts at the Armory, 191 Highland Ave, Somerville, MA | Get Directions »
FREE
Zines! Featuring talks by Somerville zinesters Marissa Falco and Alana Kumbier; a visit from Papercut Zine Library; and a zine swap. Organized by Tim Devin.
There’s been a renewed interest in zines lately, and the Boston area has become a hotbed of activity. Join us for “Zines!,” when the Somerville Salon turns its laser beam towards the Somerville zine scene.
Long-term personal zine creator Marissa Falco will discuss how her recent zine projects have been shaped by journalism and design training. Librarian and author Alana Kumbier talk about how zines can help build communities around libraries and archives, based on her experience with zine-librarianship at Wellesley College and her participation in the Queer Zine Archive Project.
As an added bonus, Papercut Zine Library will have a table, and…we’ll have a zine swap! Bring along a few copies of your zine!

More About The Center for Arts at the Armory
In 2009, this nonprofit arts organization moved into the freshly renovated Armory Building on Highland Ave. Conceived as space that would "galvanize the creative spirit," they set up studio and live/work space for artists, as well as two galleries and two performance areas: a more intimate café and a larger hall. Concerts, film screenings and happenings like their fall Harvest Fest fill most of the performance calendar. Spoken word, theater and comedy can also be seen here.
