Zine Mania! Cristy Road and Zine Workshop at the Duke Women's Center

Cristy Road Zine Reading

4:00 pm -- Monday, November 16
Duke Women's Center Lower Lounge

Cristy C. Road has been illustrating ideas, people, and places, ever since she learned how to hold a crayon. Blending the inevitable existence of social principles, cultural identity, sexual identity, mental inadequacies, and dirty thoughts--Road thrives to testify the beauty of the imperfect. A Cuban-American from Miami, FL, she went to Ringling School of Art and Design, where many arguments on commercialism and the representation of women in Illustration took place. Her endeavors in illustrating and publishing began when writing a punk rock zine, Greenzine, for ten years. While today, Road has moved onto illustrated novels, taking both writing and visual elements a step more seriously, her visual diagram of lifestyles and beliefs stay in tune to the zine's portrayal of living honestly and unconventionally.
