TCA Zinefest 2025: The Power of Prints
@ Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
220 E Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
Opening Saturday, December 20th, from 1PM - 5PM
Join us for music, free snacks, free zines, and more!
The Teen Creative Agency at the MCA is celebrating 13 years (and counting) of DIY publications! This event showcases the original artwork, activism, and social practice of Chicago-area youth and emerging adults, as captured in zine form.
This year, TCA designed and created zines exploring the history of power in print. In addition, we’ve partnered with ZINEmercado to bring in a broader range of local and regional zine-makers and independent presses.
TCA highlights teen ideas and perspectives in the museum space. Its members gather at the MCA from all over the Chicagoland area to collaboratively create public responses to relevant contemporary issues. In doing so, they build relationships alongside other cultural institutions, organizations, and professionals in Chicago’s vibrant art scene.
Along with the TCA teens, the following zine makers and zine groups are tabling at Zinefest this year:
Quimbys
UIC Student Zinesters
DePaul Student Zinesters
