Reading Room: Zines, Comix & Other Radical Texts presents a loud and proud exhibition that celebrates the contemporary relevance and impacts of zines and comics on culture today, on the visual and literary arts, and in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. Organized by the museum with the support of campus and community partners, the multidimensional exhibition focuses on artists and authors whose works engage with comic and zine-making. The exhibition also features hundreds of zines and comics for visitors to read and respond to in a community studio space. Accompanying public programs will include film screenings, panel discussions, hands-on art-making workshops, and other community engagement opportunities featuring local and regional creatives. Artists include Yasmeen Abedifard, Kumasi J. Barnett, Cheyne Ellet, Funchicken (Mark Todd & Esther Pearl Watson), Charles Glaubitz, Kristen Liu-Wong, Felix Quintana, Alkaid Ramirez, and Birdcage Comics Café, Curious Publishing, The Space/El Espacio, and Tierra del Sol.
