Organized by the Wignall Museum with the support of campus and community partners, the multidimensional exhibition focuses on artists and authors whose works engage with comic and zine-making. The exhibition also features hundreds of zines and comics for visitors to read and respond to in a community studio space. Artists include Yasmeen Abedifard, Kumasi J. Barnett, Cheyne Ellet, Funchicken (Mark Todd & Esther Pearl Watson), Charles Glaubitz, Kristen Liu-Wong, Felix Quintana, Alkaid Ramirez, and Birdcage Comics Café, Curious Publishing, The Space/El Espacio, and Tierra del Sol.
