Calling all DIY artists and publishers!

Join Radio Free Chicago this Friday afternoon at Ephemera, a festival celebrating Zines and D.I.Y culture. There will be tables from numerous zine writers and DIY artists, as well as workshops, presentations and readings throughout the day. Presenters include keynote speaker Tyler Kahdeman, who will be talking about the role of Zines in social justice; Xexoxial Editions, an Intermedia presentation with reading, sound, movies and animation; the Guild of Acquired Technology will be presenting a Circuit Bending Workshop; and David Powers will discuss D.I.Y. Computer Music Production. After the workshops, local independent publishers will read selections from their work. Readers include Aaron Cynic (Diatribe Media) Matt Fagan (Meniscus) Abby Glongower, Christoph Meyer (28 Pages Lovingly Bound with Twine), Kate Sandler (Brainiac) and Emerson Dameron (Wherwithall). Stop by the RFC table and we'll hook you up with some sweet music swag. (while supplies last!)
