Zines: An Introduction to Fighting the Power with a Piece of Paper

Move up, move back

What a Few Zines Are Like

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

[Content: curse words, sexuality, racial and economic violence]

• Our Stories Matter: Life in the Time of Covid-19 (some pages take longer than others to load. You can always go back to the table of contents on the 2/3 page and click on a page number to jump around)
• From Sheytls to Yarmulkes (this zine references a case between a transgender professor and Yeshiva University)
• Ungrateful Black-White Girl (please be patient if the zine takes a minute to load)

In breakout rooms discuss for 5 minutes:

• Did one or more of the zines have an impact on you? On the creator?
• How do the zines fight the power?
• How do the zine images go with or contradict the text?

Group share.
