ZINƏ
Alessia Formica Salma Remadi
Listening, witnessing, feeling, sharing, observing, understanding. These are the keywords that helped develop our project ‘Zinə’. Out of personal thrive to amplify our voices, the voice of women, of local and immigrant women, of trans, non-binary, agenda people and anyone else on the vast spectrum of gender that does not identify as a cisgender man.
Everything in our zine is created collectively and comes from the women+ we have interacted with, from interviews to the intimate creations they have shared with us—poems, photos, diaries and more. Women+ played an active role not only in shaping the content but also in the entire creation process: all the pages were in fact revised and refined with them.
Our output is a celebration of the unique and diverse experience and background of each and every women+. In the first edition we explored the theme of love, from a general idea, to self-love, love within family, love within partners, and love towards pets, neighbors and friends.
