#zines

13 posts11 participants1 post today

Zines are an important way of tracking history, particularly the history of social movements — they were crucial organizing tools for protests and community action as well as vehicles for artistic expression. Now, they're becoming part of museum and archive collections. Atlas Obscura discusses their importance for queer and trans communities in the past and today, where they're enjoying a resurgence. "We’re all the voices that don’t show up in other media and presses,” says Milo Miller, co-creator of the Queer Zine Archive Project.

Atlas Obscura · Zine Archives Preserve Trans Survival and StorytellingBy Emma Cieslik

I made a zine about why we lift up hopeful climate fiction stories on the Bright Green Futures podcast! (plus my prior one about solarpunk)

You can download/print/share them (plus I have a handy video on the trick of folding them): brightgreenfutures.substack.co

Ep of the pod about how the resurgence of zines is an indicator of cultural change: brightgreenfutures.substack.co

Also was thinking of a way to distribute my games where I can make a minizine, decorate the pages like the front/back of a game box, then inside it has a URL and QR code to the game (preferably one that can be played in a browser), and the rest of the minizine can be a little instruction manual.

That way peeps can peruse the games available and can donate for the zine in person or the game online, or since zinesters will often trade, I can basically trade my games for zines.

#Clay is so common, I can't believe I took no notice of it for most of my life. As soon as I learned it was abundant in the landscape, I just started seeing it everywhere. "Earthen Rainbow: Working with #WildClay Terra Sigillata at Midrange" is a #zine I wrote describing this experience of connecting with the land and how it's inspired my studio practice. It's also a guide for other clay artists, with technical tips and recipes.
