Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "You Can't Silence..."
From DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock -
"You Can't Silence..."
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2665
With all the critical issues facing this country – the escalation of police violence, the continued highway robbery of the People by the likes of Amazon, the lack of hurricane relief for Puerto Rico, the lack of clean water in Flint, Michigan; the children dying in cages at the border – the first act of the US Senate this year was to introduce legislation that criminalized involvement with the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement working to end the Israeli occupation and apartheid state in Palestine.

New Herblock exhibit opening this month at Library of Congress
Art in Action: Herblock and Fellow Artists Respond to Their Times
Jan. 31, 2019 – Aug. 17, 2019
A new exhibition, "Art in Action," will explore the tradition of artists as social commentators. Drawings by renowned editorial cartoonist Herblock will be paired with historical and contemporary artists' prints, drawings and posters that respond to major issues from the 17th century to the current day. As a political cartoonist for The Washington Post and other newspapers, Herbert L. Block, better known as Herblock, devoted his career to creating social commentary through art. Topics that drew his attention provide the exhibition's framework, including civil rights, women's rights, health, war, refugees and the role of media.
Herblock's cartoons provide a call and response with other socially-engaged artists who expressed their opinions through art. The exhibition includes depictions of Pablo Picasso and works in the global tradition of political art by Jacques Callot, Francisco de Goya, and Leopoldo M̩ndez Рas well as modern and contemporary American artists including Alexander Calder, Enrique Chagoya, Shepard Fairey, Kerry James Marshall, Juan Fuentes, Favianna Rodriguez and Helen Zughaib, among others.

PR: Zinelab Tomorrow and Future Zinelabs
We wanted to make sure everyone knew about tomorrow's Zine Lab at the Woodridge Library. It's a casual space where zinesters can get together to work on projects. Supplies are provided, and many of our zinefest organizers will be there. In fact, many people met our organizing team and decided to join up at these events. The information is below:
We're also interested in holding zine labs in all 4 quadrants of DC, and we're looking for volunteers who can help us facilitate and spaces that would be happy to host (libraries have often been their location, but that doesn't mean they have to be the only place). Reply if you want to participate or know a great place.
All our best,
DC Zinefest Organizers
