ZINE: Punk Ethos at the Library
Wednesday, August 6th | 4pm-6pm
For Adults

The spirit of DIY self-expression is alive and well in the production of zines, self-published, cheaply-made books designed to be unregulated. Using upcycled materials, simple binding techniques, and a good old-fashioned photocopier, the contents of zines are as diverse and passionate as their creators. Come on to our workshop, where materials, step-by-step binding suggestions, and prompts will be available for you to experiment with. Bring a collaborator (or find one here!) or work on your own, trade your creations or keep them to start your library, and have fun with this tradition of individualism and creativity!

---

Almost twenty-five years after the infamous art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—still the largest unsolved art theft in history—one of the stolen Degas paintings is delivered to the Boston studio of a young artist. Claire Roth has entered into a Faustian bargain with a powerful gallery owner by agreeing to forge the Degas in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But as she begins her work, she starts to suspect that this long-missing masterpiece—the very one that had been hanging at the Gardner for one hundred years—may itself be a forgery. The Art Forger is a thrilling novel about seeing—and not seeing—the secrets that lie beneath the canvas.
