This exhibition in the Webster Library showcases radical English-language zines from Montreal's queer and BIPOC communities. It features rare and important zines from the 1980s to today (from Montreal and elsewhere) highlighting selections from the collections of ARCMTL/ Expozine, the Concordia Fine Arts Reading Room, Les Archives gaies du Québec, QPIRG Concordia, and QPIRG McGill.

This exhibit is part of "Owning Our Histories: Celebrating Queer & BIPOC DIY Archives," a series of ten free public events (Feb 13–Mar 29) exploring how communities create, share, and preserve their own histories. This project is made possible in part thanks to funding from the Government of Canada.

Vernissage & Curator Talk: February 13, 4 to 6 p.m., LB-361 (Friends of the Library Room)
