Conversation in Practice - From Xerox to Archive: Zines as Resistance and Record

Conversation in Practice: A Lecture Series at the Rubin Center
This fall, the Rubin Center’s Faculty Biennial is accompanied by a series of conversations that bring UTEP art faculty into dialogue to reflect on the ways their practices move beyond the studio. From zines and digital tools to risk, play, and processing grief through art, these programs highlight the ongoing exchange between making and teaching—where the classroom sparks new ideas, and the studio deepens what is shared with students.

This talk with Lisa Novak and Susannah Holliday dives into the power of self-publishing as tools of resistance, storytelling and community building —with a spotlight on UTEP Special Collections' growing zine collection.
