Chicago Signs & Symbols at Quimby’s
Chicago Sign & Symbols
Chicago Sign & Symbols #3 release party! Fri. 5/15, 6:30-8 pm
Exhibition runs through June 26, daily 12-6
In this exhibition Lisa Glenn Armstrong and Atlan Arceo-Witzl of the zine Chicago Signs and Symbols bring together protest posters, publications, signage reference books, and community workshop outcomes from an event held at Hoofprint back in December.
Chicago Signs and Symbols is a collaborative zine project made under the model of DIT (do-it-together) that uses Chicago’s unique signs to explore the cultural indicators of our social realities and what can be understood about Chicago’s past, present, and future through semiotics.
Join us for the Chicago Signs and Symbols Volume 3 release party on Friday 5/15!
Chicago Signs and Symbols Volume 3 features an interview with Quimby’s alumni Echo and works submitted by Nick Marzullo, Lya Finston, Maddie Vaccaro, Scott McGaughey and printing by Raeann Van Zee of Bovine Press.
