OPENING
Our proposition: opening a show is like opening a zine is like opening the closet. In which case, to follow Judith Butlerâs line of questioning: âSo we are out of the closet, but into what? What new unbounded spatiality?â Well, good company, good wine, and good zines for sale, at the very least.
Please Unfold: Five Years of the F.E.M.M.E. Zine
Amber Sollenberger's F.E.M.M.E. zine chronicles an ongoing queer becoming: a process that begins slowly, over the course of weeks, months, years, and then coalescesâsuddenlyâinto a political awakening. In eleven issues, five years, and untold accumulations of glue, tape, found images, and blackout poetry, Sollenberger has built her world into an archive of optimism and articulated pain. This retrospective brings together the first years of the F.E.M.M.E. zine and selections from Sollenbergerâs personal collection. It was made possible through the generous support of Lauren Berlant and the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality.
