New England Book Artists are pleased to share four years of their annual Zine Swaps.
Zines are micro-magazines that are self-published, small editions, produced by artists, writers, and fans of personally chosen content. Originating in the 1940s and ’50s as “fanzines” by starstruck fans as a means of expressing of their interests in celebrities of the time, they were quickly embraced by social and political movements to provide an inexpensive, low-tech tool to support their campaigns. The current zine scene continues to expand with more and more genres, from “perzines” (personal and memoir-based zines) to body-positive zines, cat zines, and DIY zines that share zinesters’ knowledge of art techniques, survival skills, tips for better living, and more.
A reception on October 7 at 2 PM will give attendees a chance to read the collections and meet some of NEBA’s zinesters. If you’re inspired by the exhibit to make your own zine, check out our hands-on Zine Scene workshop on October 29 at 2 PM .
Norberto Fabian Xuana, son of the late master carver Ventura Fabian, from San Martín Tilcajete, Oaxaca, Mexico, is proud to carry on in the tradition of his father as a “campesino-artesano.” Their carvings are renowned for their originality, humor, and charm, and present an unusual mix of everyday life and phantasmagoric creatures. Norberto’s inspiration comes from his father and the love of his children, which “unite my mind, my heart, and my hands.” Much of the work is decorated by Blanca, Norberto’s wife, a skilled and meticulous painter, whose inspiration for her designs comes from the family’s Zapotec ancestry. The artists’ goal is to create work that dissolves borders and breaks down walls among the people of the world.
All are invited to join Norberto and The Visiting Mexican Artists Program for a demonstration of his work and a Q&A session on Saturday, November 4 at 2 PM.

Prison Books Program has been sending packages of free, hand-selected books to people in prisons and jails across the country for 51 years. Art from Inside is a curated selection of works that PBP’s readers and requestors have sent to them over the course of many decades, often as a token of gratitude for a shipment of books they received. Many pieces are explicitly book-themed, depicting reading as a temporary escape from the confines of prison or as a vehicle for growth, learning, and rehabilitation. The pieces in this exhibit also showcase the detailed techniques that can be achieved with the simplest tools, most commonly ballpoint pen and pencil. Art from Inside shows how much talent, creativity, and human potential reside behind bars.
Come by the small Special Collections display case to take a peek at some of the photographs the library has collected within its own walls over the years.
