THE GAZE: A short exhibition about feminist zines

SU Gallery, February 6-16, 2018

London College of Communication,

Elephant & Castle, SE1 6SB

One of the things that drew us to feminism was the increasing power and international networks of collaboration in recent years. Our intention is to make visible some ways of engaging with the topic. The gaze is the act of seeing and being seen.

This short exhibition brings together a Feminist Zine Collection with the aim of diversifying the way of understanding the movement, its research and perspectives, its social impact, its expression and group discussion when addressing its problems in the D.I.Y. culture. Also, this event showcases the recent artwork of Teeson Shen, Lyu Wen, Chui Yin Wong, Rafael MC and Kristopher Karpowicz.

In 2017, Editorial Facsimile had an open call and received 3 copies of 35 publishing projects for the Latin American Feminist Zine Collection, which will be donated to LCC Library, Horst Hartung Franz Library and EF Library for research and teaching purposes after the exhibition.

We hope this collection can increase over the years.

Join us during ten days for:

Zine making + Performance + Workshops + Panel Discussion + Community impact
