I’m very excited to announce that Printed Matter and I put together this event for the release of my new scrapbook / fanzine ! Huge special thanxx to Craig at Printed Matter for making this all happen. And thanks in advance to all the wonderful tables and friends for being a part of this! Hope to see everyone there! Here’s the blurb about the scrapbook and event:In the Shadows of This New World : A Summer of 2020 ScrapbookSidewalk Launch Party with Ben Charles Trogdon and FriendsApril 24, 20212 - 6pm ESTPlease join us for the launch of In the Shadows of This New World: A Summer of 2020 Scrapbook. This scrapbook is a collection of 35mm film photos and collages by Ben Charles Trogdon (Editor/Publisher - Nuts! and Tattoo Punk ZIne), accompanied by interviews and short stories about NYC summer 2020. Huge protests, the pandemic, violence, COVID anxiety, heat, humidity, rats, roaches, cops, blue medical masks, pepper spray: the scrapbook serves as a visual document aiming to capture the joy, rage, compassion, and community felt by a group of friends as they navigated their ever-changing environment.The launch event embraces the group of friends that inspired the scrapbook. The people in the scrapbook’s pages are fellow artists, community organizers and unique beings. At this event they will have spaces to showcase their work, passions and livelihoods. It’s a sidewalk art fair / flea market / socially distanced party to reflect on the summer of 2020 and what we learned from it. This a reminder to continue to push towards a new, better future.Tables by:Demystification Magazine (from Washington DC!) @demystifynowDizzy Magazine @dizzymagPoppy & Star Herbs @poppyandstarherbsRoots Unbound @rootsunboundPapertown Company @papertowncompanyRobin Pak @r0nbin1-800-Possessed @1800possessedAnahit Guilian @a7n7a7h7i7tDripper World @dripperworldSomer Stampley @shesonlydreamingImaginary Mirrors @melaniebeesMutagen Fanzine @mutagen.zineEverett BrownWith music provided by:Sara Abruna @__snakeskinAmbrose Nzams @bweneMateo Cartagena @_bizari0Masks are required.
