the body in zines
Choose a zine, report back on one or more of these questions:
● Why did the artist/writer choose this medium? How does its communication style differ from online media?
● What does the zine reveal about the body—the author's relationship with theirs, how their body is viewed or treated, how they regard others' bodies?
● How do the visual elements or style support or contradict the text?
