 Zine* Together is the first exhibition of its kind to examine Asian American zines not only as objects, but as actions—creative, collective, and relational. Drawing from Asia Art Archive in America’s Reading Room collection, this exhibition highlights collaboratively produced zines from 2010 to the present, alongside newly commissioned projects and prompts that trace zine-making as a mode of shared authorship and community building.

In the 1960s and 1970s, zines (short for “magazines” or “fan-zines”) were characterized by their photo-copied, staple-bound formats and emerged as popular do-it-yourself platforms for sharing counter-cultural socio-political programs and avant-garde art practice. In more recent decades and particularly in Asian American communities, zines have served as a place to explore artistic narratives, diasporic histories, and collective responses to marginalization.
