Our forty-fourth Standing-Room-Only Lecture will have Nat Pyper coming from the county of kings to talk about Come!Unity Press, an anti-capitalist gay anarchist printing cooperative based in Lower Manhattan in the 1970s. They provided printing equipment and technical skills to a broad range of resistance movements throughout New York City with an emphasis on providing equal access across income and ability. Their prismatic output was marked by an embrace of color, variation, and material reuse.
Our speaker, Nat Pyper, is an alphabet artist. Their practice of fonts, wearables, video, and performance extends from ongoing research on queer publishing histories. Their new book, A Queer Year of Love Letters: Alphabets Against Erasure, will be piled high at the shop when they speak here.
Thirty tickets are available for $10 each.

Standing-Room Only Lectures aim to present short talks about graphic design, typography, and collecting. The lectures are kept to about twenty minutes because—true to its name—the series takes place in our standing-room only gallery. So, wear comfortable shoes and bring a short attention span.
