Zine Club Presents Xerox Seance
Saturday, November 4, 3:30-5:30 pm

Join us in the Arts & Music Department for the collaborative creation of a photocopied print, by the spontaneous writing and drawing of those present, through a game of surrealistic happenstance named “writey/drawey”. Come with an open mind to invoke a broadside (of sorts), which will be printed in a limited edition determined by the number of attendees, which participants will be able to take home as a memento.
