PANEL—Latinx Science Fiction: Genealogies, Foundations, Futures

PANEL—”Zines to the Future” presents a discussion on “Latinx Science Fiction: Genealogies, Foundations, Futures,” in celebration of the exhibit opening and the theme, “Imagining Diverse Futures.” Panelists include Ernest Hogan, who wrote the first Latinx sf novel, Dr. Cathryn Merla-Watson, who co-edited the first critical collection on Latinx sf, and Dr. Matt Goodwin, who edited the first anthology of sf by U.S.-based Latinxs. Dr. David Sandner moderates the panel. “Zines to the Future!” is an exhibit on the history of zines, with rare zines on display, but also original art and new zines drawn from the work of participants. The theme is “Imagining Diverse Futures.” The exhibit will open in the Atrium Gallery of the Pollak Library on the California State University, Fullerton campus, on October 29, 2020.
