Saw this posted on another listserv and thought you all might be interested! It seems like it's primarily about book arts, but the word "zines" does appear in the zoom description: "Rowan Renee, Gino Romero, Emilee Taxman and Sky Syzygy present the 2025 Charles W. Mann Lecture in the Book Arts through, using a book artists' panel discussion to surface themes that include zines, community, queer historical documentation, queer and trans joy, and the deep emotional pull of (be)longing."

Mann Lecture in the Book Arts - April 17 Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that gino romero, Rowan Renee, Sky Syzygy, and Emilee Taxman will present the Penn State University Libraries’ 2025 Charles W. Mann Jr. Lecture in the Book Arts titled "Document, Celebrate, Testify, Resist: Queer History through Book Arts<https://www.psu.edu/news/university-libraries/story/queer-history-through-book-arts-subject-libraries-2025-mann-lecture>." Formatted as an artists’ panel discussion, our four speakers will introduce the audience to their work and process, exploring the themes and subjects that inspire them, before inviting attendees to join in the conversation. The discourse will explore how book arts practices contribute to the documentation and celebration of queer and trans identities and how the act of creation resists the erasures of queer and trans existence. The lecture will take place virtually from 4pm-5:15 p.m. on Thursday, April 17. The event is free and open to all, though registration is required<https://psu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_eozrQs8NQ5ClRoK2GJ-Lrg#/registration>.

The exhibition features gender liberators by Sky Syzygy, List of Homosexuals by Rowan Renee, Patchwork Voices by Emilee Taxman, and Stations of the Cross(dresser) III by gino romero. The Charles W. Mann Jr. Lecture in the Book Arts is named in honor of the first Dorothy Foehr Huck Chair for Special Collections in the University Libraries.
