8 O'Clock Buzz
Artists Celebrate DIY Culture at Print and Resist Zinefest
Back before desktop publishing and the internet, if you wanted to get your radical counterculture message out, you had to use scissors, paste from a jar, and frequent visits to photocopy shops to produce your own magazine, or “zine.” Madison’s annual “Print and Resist” Zinefest celebrates the DIY, analog printed word. This year’s event takes place at Madison’s Central Library on April 27th from 11 to 4.
Several contributing artists to this year’s Zinefest told us about their work on the Monday Buzz. Julie Sabo, who came in to WORT studios, is an illustrator and zinester. Joining the Buzz by phone were designer, artist and poet Mike Ward, and also comic artist Beth Hetland.
Carlee Latimer, Bubbler Program Administrator for the Madison Public Library, also joined us in the studio.
The 2024 Madison Print and Resist Zine fest takes place on Saturday, April 27 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Madison Central Library. For more information, visit the events page of the Madison Public Library website.
