What Zines Are Like

Skim a zine for three minutes and then switch, for three rounds. You will not be able to read these zines in their entirety.

[Content: curse words, sexuality, poverty, violence]

Round 1

• Spring - Asian American Feminist Antibodies
• Summer - Sillywish #5
• Fall - Ungrateful Black - White Girl
• Winter - Our Stories Matter (note the second or third page can freeze sometimes. Go back to the table of contents and skip it, if necessary.)

Round 2

• Spring - Sillywish #5
• Summer - Ungrateful Black - White Girl
• Fall - Our Stories Matter
• Winter - Asian American Feminist Antibodies

Round 3

1. Spring - Ungrateful Black - White Girl
2. Summer - Our Stories Matter
3. Fall - Asian American Feminist Antibodies
4. Winter - Sillywish #5

In breakout rooms discuss for five minutes:

• Did one or more of the zines have an impact on you? On the creator?
• How do the zines document their time?
• How do the zine images complement or complicate the text?

Group share.
