Many of these zines have sections dedicated to further education on the topics they address and getting involved with local movements and organizations. We hope that viewers of this display leave with a desire and the tools to meaningfully engage with their community.
Some zines focus on Columbia’s ongoing gentrification of Harlem, its treatment of student workers and staff, and its ties to the U.S. military-industrial complex and fossil fuels as well as the corresponding student movements for divestment. All but one of these zines were created or compiled by current or former Barnard and Columbia students and or student organizations. You can find the display in the zine library underneath the monitor.
