4.
Resist Zine

Maybe this is a bit of a stretch putting this under the DIY zine category or maybe not!

A how-to resist mini zine. Using collaged vintage children’s book illustrations. Written by me, inspired by the present moment in america (and, unfortunately, pretty much all of human history).

What is a zine?
A zine (pronounced “zeen,” like magazine) is a non- commercial, small-circulation work that is self-published. Zines are always handmade. They’re a part of DIY culture and zine making is motivated by passion, the desire for self-expression, and sharing a unique perspective, not making a profit. Because of this, zine trading is an important part of the culture. Zines can consist of any genre you can imagine: they can be personal, educational, humorous, or political. They can really be about anything! A common feature that zines share is that they’re outside the mainstream—by reading a zine, you’re probably hearing from someone who doesn’t have access to traditional publishing (or has no desire to go the traditional route). Importantly, zines provide access to often underrepresented voices, if you're reading a zine, you're hearing directly from someone with a unique perspective.
