This talk will provide a conceptual overview of the unique characteristics of zines as a form of publishing and their role in movements of social and political resistance; against capitalist frameworks of commodification and accumulation and for the viability and sustainability of the commons. Examples, including my the speaker's own zine project Four Minutes to Midnight (2004-2014), will be discussed, followed by a zine-making workshop.
Kevin Yuen Kit Lo is Assistant Professor of Communication Design and Visual Culture in the Department of Design and Computation Arts. He works at the intersections of graphic design, cultural production, and social change with a research focus on publication practices and social movements. His research is invested in exploring the tensions between material and relational studies of design as a means of fostering greater social and political autonomy.
This event is brought to you by the Loyola College for Diversity and Sustainability, the Loyola Sustainability Research Centre, and the Department of Design and Computation Arts in collaboration with 4TH SPACE, with the support of the Office of the Vice-President, Research, Innovation and Impact; the School of Community and Public Affairs and First Peoples Studies; the Science College; and the Departments of Communication Studies; Geography, Planning and Environment; and Political Science at Concordia University.
